حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةٌ "، وَكَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي، ، نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ (١) بِالنَّبْلِ فِيمَا تَقُولُونَ (٢) لَهُمْ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ " (٣)، ،
