حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّائِفِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةَ قَافِيَةٍ مِنْ قَوْلِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ الثَّقَفِيِّ كُلَّمَا أَنْشَدْتُهُ بَيْتًا قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هِيهْ حَتَّى أَنْشَدْتُهُ مِائَةً يَعْنِي بَيْتًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنْ كَادَ لَيُسْلِمُ

"As I rode behind the Prophet ﷺ, I recited to him a hundred poetic verses, composed by Umayya ibn Abi’s-Salt. Whenever I recited a verse to him, the Prophet ﷺ said to me: “Recite more!” until I had recited a hundred, meaning verses,to him.”’ The Prophet ﷺ therefore said: 'He was surely near to embracing Islam!'"
