The reciter: And 'Umar ibn Hamzah said: Salim narrated to us from his father that he said:
Sometimes I would recite the poet's words while looking at the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as he sought rain, and it would not descend until every gutter overflowed: "And a white-faced man whose face causes the clouds to seek rain, a protector of orphans and a shield for widows," and this is the saying of Abu Talib.
ربما ذكرت قول الشاعر وأنا أنظر إلى وجه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يستسقي، فما ينزل حتى يجيش كل ميزاب: وأبيض يستسقى الغمام بوجهه ثمال اليتامى عصمة للأرامل، وهو قول أبي طالب
