Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27766 — Those who disliked poetry
٢٧٧٦٦ - حدثنا عبيد اللَّه بن موسى عن حنظلة عن سالم عن أبيه قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "لأن (يمتلئ) (١) الرجل قيحًا، خير له من أن يمتلئ شعرًا" (٢).
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That a man's belly should be filled with pus is better than that it should be filled with poetry."
