حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ
عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ مَدَحْتُ اللَّهَ بِمَحَامِدَ وَمِدَحٍ وَإِيَّاكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ فَجَعَلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ أَصْلَعُ فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْكُتْ فَدَخَلَ فَتَكَلَّمَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَكَّتَنِي ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي سَكَّتَّنِي لَهُ؟ قَالَ هَذَا رَجُلٌ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْبَاطِلَ
Translation
✧ From al-Aswad b. Sarīʿ, who said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have praised Allah with praises and eulogies, and you too." He said: "Indeed, your Lord loves praise." So I began to recite to him, and a tall, bald man asked permission to enter. The Prophet ﷺ said to me: "Be quiet." He entered and spoke for a while, then left, and I recited to him. Then he came again and silenced me, then left. He did that two or three times. I said: "Who is this that you silenced me for?" He said: "This is a man who does not love falsehood."
