The story of Ka'b ibn Zuhayr's delegation and his recitation of the poem "Bānat Su'ād" in praise of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is well-established. It has been mentioned by numerous scholars and transmitted in books of biography. Al-Bayhaqi narrated it in "As-Sunan al-Kubra" and "Dalā'il an-Nubuwwah," and al-Hakim in "Al-Mustadrak." Al-Hakim authenticated some of its chains of transmission.
