"قَدِمْتُ عَلَى نَبِىِّ الله ﷺ فَقُلتُ يَا نَبِى الله إِنِّى قَدْ قُلتُ شِعْرًا أثْنَيْتُ فيهِ عَلَى - الله وَمَدَحْتُكَ، قَالَ: أمَا مَا أثَنَيْتَ عَلَى الله فَهَاتِهِ، وَمَا مَدَحْتَنِى بِه فَدَعْهُ، فَجَعَلتُ أنشُدُهُ فَدَخَلَ رَجُل طِوَالٌ أقْنَى ()، فَقَالَ أمْسِكْ فَلَمَّا خَرج قَالَ: هَات، فَجَعَلتُ أنْشُدُه فَلَمْ ألبَثْ أنْ عَادَ، فَقَالَ لِى: أمْسِكْ، فَلَمَّا خَرج قَالَ: هَاتِ، قُلتُ: مَنْ هَذَا يَا نَبِى الله الذى دَخَلَ قُلتَ: أمْسِكْ، فَإِذَا خَرَجَ قُلتَ: هَاتِ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الخطَّابِ وَلَيْسَ مِنَ البَاطِلِ فِى شَئ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"I came to the Prophet of God ﷺ and said: O Prophet of God, I have composed a poem in which I praised God and praised you. He said: As for what you praised God with, bring it; and as for what you praised me with, leave it. So I began to recite it to him, and a tall man with a prominent, curved nose came in. He said: Hold back. When the man left, he said: Go on. So I began to recite, and it was not long before he returned, and he said to me: Hold back. When he left, he said: Go on. I said: O Prophet of God, who is this who came in, for whom you said: Hold back, and when he left you said: Go on? He said: This is ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, and he has nothing to do with falsehood."
