English translation

It is narrated from Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Denounce the polytheists through poetry, for a Muslim strives with both his life and his wealth. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, the poetry you recite about the polytheists is as if you are showering them with arrows.
