بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي االتَّرْهِيْبِ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ فحش أَوْ كَذِبُ أَوِ انْشِغَالُ عَنِ اللَّهِChapter on what has been narrated regarding warning against poetry if it contains obscenity, lies, or distracts from Allah

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place of 'Arj when suddenly a poet appeared before us, reciting poetry. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Seize this devil, or he said: Stop this devil. If a person's stomach is filled with pus, it is better for him than to have his stomach filled with poetry.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is possible that this person is a disbeliever (kafir) or that his poetry is blameworthy.
