Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah — Hadith #47981

Ahmad ibn Mani’ told us, saying: Marwan ibn Mu’awiyah told us, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Ta’ifi, on the authority of Amr ibn al-Sharid, on the authority of his father, who said: I was riding behind the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and I recited to him one hundred verses from the poetry of Umayyah ibn Abi al-Salt al-Thaqafi. Every time I recited a verse, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, would say to me: “Go on,” until I had recited one hundred. Meaning a house, so the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: He almost became a Muslim.
