Sunan Ibn Majah 1272

Ahmad ibn al-Azhar narrated to us; Abu al-Nadr narrated to us; Abu Aqil narrated to us, from Umar ibn Hamzah; Salim narrated to us from his father, who said: Sometimes I remember the poet’s words while looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit. He did not descend before every waterspout in Medina was gushing. Then I remember the poet’s words: ‘Fair of face, by whose countenance rain is sought; a refuge for orphans and a protection for widows.’ These are the words of Abu Talib.
