Amr ibn Ash-Sharid, from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), narrated: I rode behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one day, and he said, “Do you have any poetry of Umayyah ibn Abi As-Salt?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Go ahead.” So I recited 1 a verse, and he said, “Go on.” I recited another, and he said, “Go on,” until I recited a hundred verses.
