[5895] 9 - (2259) It was narrated that Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî said: "While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in Al-'Arj, we were met by a poet who was reciting poetry. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Catch the devil' - or: 'restrain the devil' - 'If the belly of a man were to be filled with pus, that would be better for him than being filled with poetry.'"
9 - (2259) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ يُحَنِّسَ، مَوْلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا 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»
