Ibn Majahحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، أَنَّ شَاعِرًا، مَدَحَ بِلاَلَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ بِلاَلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خَيْرُ بِلاَلٍ . فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ كَذَبْتَ لاَ بَلْ بِلاَلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ خَيْرُ بِلاَلٍ .
It was narrated from Salim that:
A poet praised Bilal bin 'Abdullah and said: "Bilal bin 'Abdullah is better than any other Bilal." Ibn 'Umar said: 'You are lying. The Bilal of the Messenger of Allah is better than any other Bilal.'"
