A man of the tribe of Hudhayl narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, this poetry is a highly eloquent, rhetorical and profound part of the speech of the Arabs; through it the one who asks is given (wealth and goods), through it anger is swallowed, and by means of it people attain (their high standing and aims) in their gatherings."
This hadith is weak because one narrator in its chain is unnamed; Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in "al-Mu'jam al-Kabir" (1301).
