وَعَن أبي سعيدٍ الخدريِّ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بالعرج إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لِأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ
Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri Narrated from:
While we were travelling with Allah's Messenger ﷺ in al-Arj, a poet came before us reciting poetry. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "Get hold of the devil,' or, 'catch the devil (meaning, stop him from reciting poetry), because it is better for a man to let pus fill his belly than to have poetry fill it." [3]
