Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ حَدّ
َثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّبَيْدِيُّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُقَصُّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَصَّ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَنْ يَقُصَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَائِمًا فَأَذِنَ لَهُ عُمَرُ

English Translation
Yazīd ibn ʿAbd Rabbih narrated to us: Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd narrated to us, saying: al-Zubaydī narrated to me, from al-Zuhrī, from al-Sāʾib ibn Yazīd (رضي الله عنه) that there were no storytellers during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, nor during [the caliphate of] Abū Bakr. The first to establish storytelling was Tamīm al-Dārī. He asked ʿUmar for permission, and ʿUmar permitted him.
