لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ
يُحَنِّسَ مَوْلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : " بَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ ، إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ، أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا " .
