حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The most true words said by a poet was the words of Labid." He said, Verily,
Everything except Allah is perishable and Umaiya bin As-Salt was about to be a Muslim (but he did
not embrace Islam).
