"عَنْ هِشَام بن مُحَمَّد الْكَلْبى، عَنْ عُرْوَة بن سَعِيد، عَنْ عُفَيفِ بن معد يكرب، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَدِمَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ عَلَى رسَولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّد أَحْيَانَا الله بِبَيْتَيْنِ مِنْ شِعْر امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بن حجر، قَالَ وَكَيْف ذَاكَ؟ قَالُوا أقْبَلْنَا نُرِيدُكَ فَضَلَلْنَا فَبقَيْنَا ثَلَاثًا بِغَيْر مَاءٍ فاسْتَظْلَلْنَا بِالطلْحِ وَالسَّمر، فأَقْبَل رَاكِبٌ مُتَلَثّمٌ بِعَمَامَةٍ وَتَمَثَّل رَجُلٌ مِنَّا بِبَيْتَيْنِ: وَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّ الشَّريعَة هَمّهَا... وأن الْبَيَاضَ مِنْ فَرائِصها دَامِى تَيَممْتُ الْعَين الَّذِى عِنْدَ ضَارِجٍ ()... يفئ عَلَيْها الطَّلْحُ عرمضها طَامِى فَقَالَ الرَّاكبُ: مَنْ يَقُولُ هَذَا الشِّعْر؟ قَالَ: امرئ الْقَيْس بن حُجْر، قَالَ: قَالَا وَالله مَا كَذَبَ هَذَا ضَارِجٌ عِنْدكُم، فَجَثَوْنَا عَلَى الرَّاكِبِ إلى ماءٍ كمَا ذكرَ عَلَيْه الْعِرْمَض يَفئُ عَلَيْهِ الطَّلْحُ، فَشَرِبْنَا رَيّا وَحَمَّلْنَا مَا بَلَّغنَا الطَّرِيق، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ مَذكُور، وَفِى لَفْظٍ مَشْهُورٌ في الدُّنْيا، شَرِيفٌ فِيهَا، مَنْسِىٌ في الآخِرَة، خَامِلٌ فِيهَا، يَجئُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعهُ لِوَاءُ الشُّعَرَاءِ يَقَودهُمُ إِلَى النَّارِ".

"Hisham ibn Muhammad al-Kalbi narrated from 'Urwah ibn Sa'id, from 'Ufayf ibn Ma'dikarib, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: A people from Yemen came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Muhammad, may Allah give us life with two verses of the poetry of Imru' al-Qays ibn Hujr.' He said, 'How is that?' They said, 'We set out seeking you, and we went astray, so we remained three days without water, and we sheltered under the acacia and the samur trees. A rider wearing a turban came, and a man among us recited two verses: And when she saw that the watering-place had her concern, and the whiteness of her flanks was bloody... I aimed for the spring that is at Darij, shaded over by the acacia, its gravel... ' The rider said, 'Who says this poetry?' He said, 'Imru' al-Qays ibn Hujr.' He said, 'By Allah, he did not lie. This Darij is with you.' So we knelt on the rider to the water as he described, with its gravel shaded by the acacia, and we drank until we were satisfied, and we carried what sufficed us for the journey.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'That is a man who is mentioned, and in another wording, famous in this world, honored in it, forgotten in the Hereafter, obscure in it. On the Day of Resurrection he will come with the banner of the poets, leading them to the Fire.'"
