Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2597 — Poetry

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would (sometimes) recite this half-verse of poetry by way of example: 'Wa ya'tika bil-akhbari man lam tuzawwidi' (And the news will be brought to you by one whom you did not provide with provisions (or payment))."
Imam al-Bazzar narrated it through the route of Abu Usamah and said that the narrator Za'idah is alone in transmitting this report (from Simak), while other narrators narrated it through Simak, from Ikrimah, from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).
