It is narrated from Hazrat Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me to recite the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt. I began reciting the verses, and whenever I recited a verse, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say, "Recite more," until I had recited a hundred verses. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Umayyah was close to becoming a Muslim."
