Bayhaqi 21133 — Reports on giving to poets

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا مِسْوَرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ مَرْفُوعًا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: فَقُلْنَا لِجَابِرٍ: مَا أَرَادَ: " مَا وَقَى بِهِ الْمَرْءُ عِرْضَهُ "؟ قَالَ: يَعْنِي الشَّاعِرَ وَذَا اللِّسَانِ الْمُتَّقَى، كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: الَّذِي يُتَّقَى لِسَانُهُ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُ مِسْوَرٍ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْهِلَالِيِّ، وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُعْرَفُ بِهِمَا، وَلَيْسَا بِالْقَوِيَّيْنِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Muhammad bin al-Munkadir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates the same from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) as a marfu' report. Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): What is meant by a man protecting his honour? He said: Giving to the poet and to people with sharp tongues; as though he were saying: so that their tongues are held back.
This hadith is known only through these two (al-Hilali and Miswar), and neither of them is strong.
