Majma al-Zawaid 13309 — Reports on poetry and poets
وَعَنْ أَبِي الزَّعْرَاءِ قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - : لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ الرَّجُلِ قَيْحًا ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ أَبِي الزَّعْرَاءِ وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هَانِئٍ وَثَّقَهُ الْعِجْلِيُّ وَابْنُ حِبَّانَ وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ .
Abu al-Za'ra' narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That a man's belly be filled with pus is better for him than that it be filled with poetry."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abu al-Za'ra', whose name is Abdullah bin Hani'; al-Ijli and Ibn Hibban declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and there is some weakness in him.
