حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَصْدَقُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا الشَّاعِر، كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا اللهَ بَاطِلُ وَكَادَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The most true words said by a poet was the words of Labîd. He said, 'Verily, everything except Allâh is perishable and Umaiya bin Abî As-Salt was about to embrace Islâm.' " ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 168, Vol. 8)
