Abu Huraira reported:

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا شَاعِرٌ كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ أَلاَ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مَا خَلاَ اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ مَا زَادَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ‏.‏

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The truest word which the poet stated is the word of Labid: "Behold! apart from Allah everything is vain."
