Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27768 — Those who disliked poetry
٢٧٧٦٨ - حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا غندر عن شعبة عن سعد بن إبراهيم عن أبيه عن عثمان قال: لأن يمتلئ جوف الرجل قيحًا خير له من أن يمتلئ شعرًا (١).
Ibrahim said that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That a man's belly should be filled with pus is better than that it should be filled with poetry."
