حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: رَدِفْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا، فَقَالَ: «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شِعْرِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ شَيْءٌ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «هِيهْ» فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا، فَقَالَ: «هِيهْ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا، فَقَالَ: «هِيهْ» حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ بَيْتٍ.

Reciting poetry, The most poetic of words, and criticism of poetry
One day when I rode behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), he said (to me): Do you remember any poetry of Umayya bin Abu Salt. I said: Yes. He said: Then go on. I recited a couplet, and he said: Go on. Then I again recited a couplet and he said: Go on. I recited one hundred couplets (of his poetry). This hadith has been reported on the authority of Sharid through another chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.
