أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ كَعْبٍ
فِي السَّطْرِ الْأَوَّلِ «مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَبْدِي الْمُخْتَارُ لَا فَظَّا وَلَا غَلِيظًا وَلَا صَخَّابًا فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ مَوْلِدُهُ بِمَكَّةَ وَهِجْرَتُهُ بِطَيْبَةَ وَمُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ» وَفِي السَّطْرِ الثَّانِي «مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي كُلِّ مَنْزِلَةٍ وَيُكَبِّرُونَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ رُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا جَاءَ وَقْتُهَا وَلَوْ كَانُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ كُنَاسَةٍ وَيَأْتَزِرُونَ عَلَى أَوْسَاطِهِمْ وَيُوَضِّئُونَ أَطْرَافَهُمْ وَأَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ كَأَصْوَاتِ النَّحْلِ»

✧ In the first line: “Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, My chosen servant. Not harsh, nor coarse, nor loud in the markets. He does not repay evil with evil, but he pardons and forgives. His birthplace is Makkah, his migration is to Taybah, and his dominion is in Syria.” And in the second line: “Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. His community are the praisers: they praise Allah in ease and hardship, they praise Allah in every station, and they magnify Him on every height. They are watchers of the sun. They perform the prayer when its time comes, even if they were on the top of a rubbish heap. They tie their lower garments around their waists, they wash their limbs, and their voices in the night are in the expanse of the sky like the voices of bees.”
