بَابُ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةٌChapter: Wisdom in Poetry
Hadith 857
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، سَمِعَ مُطَرِّفًا قَالَ: صَحِبْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ، فَقَلَّ مَنْزِلٌ يَنْزِلُهُ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يُنْشِدُنِي شِعْرًا، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْمَعَارِيضِ لَمَنْدُوحَةٌ عَنِ الْكَذِبِ.
It is narrated from Mutarrif (may Allah have mercy on him) that I traveled with Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) from Kufa to Basra. Wherever he stopped, he would recite poetry to me, and he said: In equivocation (ta‘reed), there is a way to avoid lying.
