أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ كَعْبٍ :" فِي السَّطْرِ الْأَوَّلِ : مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، عَبْدِي الْمُخْتَارُ، لَا فَظٌّ، وَلَا غَلِيظٌ، وَلَا صَخَّابٌ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ، وَلَا يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ، وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَغْفِرُ، مَوْلِدُهُ بِمَكَّةَ ، وَهِجْرَتُهُ بِطَيْبَةَ ، وَمُلْكُهُ بِالشَّامِ ، وَفِي السَّطْرِ الثَّانِي : مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، أُمَّتُهُ الْحَمَّادُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ، يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي كُلِّ مَنْزِلَةٍ، وَيُكَبِّرُونَه عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ، رُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا جَاءَ وَقْتُهَا وَلَوْ كَانُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ كُنَاسَةٍ، وَيَأْتَزِرُونَ عَلَى أَوْسَاطِهِمْ، وَيُوَضِّئُونَ أَطْرَافَهُمْ، وَأَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ كَأَصْوَاتِ النَّحْلِ "
Zayd bin Awf told us, he said: Abu Awanah told us, on the authority of Abd al-Malik bin Umair, on the authority of Dhakwan Abu Salih, on the authority of Ka’b: “In The first line: Muhammad is the Messenger of God, my chosen servant. He is not rude, nor harsh, nor noisy in the markets, nor does he return evil for evil, but He pardons and forgives. His birth was in Mecca, his emigration was in Thebes, and his rule was in the Levant. In the second line: Muhammad is the Messenger of God, his nation is the Praiseworthy. They praise God in good and bad times, they praise God in every status, and glorify Him in every honor, shepherds of the sun pray the prayer when its time comes. Even if they were at the head of a sweeper, and they girded themselves around their waists, and illuminated their limbs, and their voices at night were in the atmosphere of the sky.
