Chapter on what poetry is permissible for a legitimate religious benefit
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9943 — on what poetry is permissible
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَرْمُونَهُمْ بِهِ نَضْحَ النَّبْلِ
(Second chain) They said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Indeed, whatever Allah Almighty was to reveal about poetry, He has revealed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, a believer strives with his sword and his tongue. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! It is as if you are showering arrows upon them.
