Sahih Muslim 2256b (Book 41, Hadith 4) #12977
The Vainness of All Things Apart from Allah

SUMMARY: Everything apart from Allah is vain and Umayya b. Abu Salt was almost a Muslim.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The truest word uttered by a poet is this verse of Labid: "Behold! apart from Allah everything is vain," and Umayya b. Abu Salt was almost a Muslim.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَصْدَقُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا شَاعِرٌ كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ أَلاَ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مَا خَلاَ اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ وَكَادَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ

Abu Salt who was almost a Muslim, suggesting that it is possible to come close to Islam even if one does not fully accept it yet. This hadith encourages us to recognize the truth that all things are ultimately dependent on Allah and nothing else has any real value or purpose in life other than Him. It also reminds us that we should never give up hope for those who have not yet accepted Islam as they may still be on their way towards doing so eventually with guidance and patience from others around them.
