حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الأَزْهَرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
رُبَّمَا ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَمَا نَزَلَ حَتَّى جَيَّشَ كُلُّ مِيزَابٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَذْكُرُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ وَأَبْيَضَ يُسْتَسْقَى الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ ثِمَالُ الْيَتَامَى عِصْمَةٌ لِلأَرَامِلِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

“Sometimes I remember the words of the poet when I was looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit. He did not come down until all the waterspouts in Al-Madinah were filled with rain. And I remember what the poet said: ‘He has a white complexion and rain is sought by virtue of his countenance, He cares for the orphans, and protects the widows, These are the words of Abu Talib.”
