Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about poetry, and he said: "It is speech; the good of it is good, and the bad of it is bad."
Abu Ya'la recorded it. Its chain contains Abd al-Rahman bin Thabit bin Thawban, whom Duhaym and a group declared thiqah (trustworthy), while Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared him da'if (weak). The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
