حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ يُحَنَّسَ (١) ، مَوْلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ، إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ - أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ - لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا " (١)، ،

Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once we were walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) when suddenly a poet came reciting poetry. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Stop this devil. For a man's belly to be filled with pus is better than for it to be filled with poetry."
