Chapter: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) listening to poetry and other things
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27714 — The Prophet (peace and blessings be)
٢٧٧١٤ - حدثنا (يعلى) (١) بن عبيد عن أبي حيان عن مجمع قال: بنى علي سجنًا فسماه نافعًا، ثم بدا له فكسره وبنى (أحصن) (٢) منه ثم قال بيت شعر: ألم (تريني) (٣) كيسا مكيسا … بنيت بعد نافع مخيسا (٤)
Mujammi' said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) built a prison and named it Nafi'. Then a thought occurred to him, so he broke it down and built a stronger one than it. Then he said this verse: "Do I not seem to you a man of intelligence, known for his wisdom? After the prison Nafi', I have built the prison Mukhayyis."
