Simak bin Harb said: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Did you people use to recite poetry in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: "Yes, we used to recite poems in his (peace and blessings be upon him) presence; we would laugh and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would smile."
