بَابُ الشِّعْرُ حَسَنٌ كَحَسَنِ الْكَلَامِ وَمِنْهُ قَبِيحٌChapter: Poetry Is Good Like Good Speech, and Some Is Bad
Hadith 867
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ شِعْرِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ: ”وَيَأْتِيكَ بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ.“
It is narrated from Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) that I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite any poetry? She replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite as an example some verses from the poetry of Abdullah bin Rawahah: "He will bring you news of what you have not prepared for."
