وَحَدَّثَنَا الْجَرَّاحُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحْرِزٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ أَحَدِكُمْ قَيْحًا ، أَوْ دَمًا ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا هُجِيتُ بِهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That the inside (belly) of one of you be filled with pus or blood is far better for him than that it be filled with poetry in which I have been satirised (condemned and reviled)."
The chain of this hadith is jayyid (good), and the words mentioned in it, 'hujitu bihi' (in which I have been satirised), restrict this warning specifically to those verses in which disrespect or satire has been directed at the noble status of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); and this meaning is exactly in keeping with the eloquence of the Prophetic speech in this place.
