Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 471

وَعَنْ عَفِيفٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذْ أَقْبَلَ وَفْدٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ ، فَذَكَرُوا امْرَأَ الْقَيْسِ بْنَ حُجْرٍ الْكِنْدِيَّ ، وَذَكَرُوا بَيْتَيْنِ مِنْ شِعْرِهِ فِيهِمَا ذِكْرُ ضَارِجِ مَاءٍ مِنْ مِيَاهِ الْعَرَبِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ مَذْكُورٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، مَنْسِيٌّ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، شَرِيفٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا خَامِلٌ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَهُ لِوَاءُ الشُّعَرَاءِ يَقُودُهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ سَعْدِ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ عَفِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، وَلَمْ أَرَ مَنْ تَرْجَمَهُمْ .
Sayyiduna Afif al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: Once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a delegation from Yemen arrived. They mentioned Imru' al-Qays bin Hujr al-Kindi (the famous poet of the period of Ignorance) and quoted two lines from his poetry in which a spring among the waters of the Arabs was mentioned. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is a man who is mentioned in this world and will be forgotten in the Hereafter; he is honoured in this world and will be disgraced in the Hereafter. When he comes on the Day of Resurrection, he will have the banner of the poets with him, and he will lead them (the poets), taking them towards Hell."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir by way of Sa'd bin Farwah bin Afif, from his father, from his grandfather, and I have not seen anyone who gives their biographies.
