2848. Al-Miqdām bin Shurāih narrated from his father, that 'Aishah was asked: "Did the Prophet ﷺ used to say any poetry?" She said: "He would say parables with the poetry of Ibn Rawāhah, saying: 'News shall come to you from where you did not expect it.'" (Da'if) There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٨٤٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ: «قِيلَ لَهَا: هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشِعْرِ ابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ،» وَيَقُولُ: وَيَأْتِيكَ بِالْأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

'The secrets do not remain hidden; they appear gradually day by day by the passing of time.' In fact this is a verse of Tarafah bin 'Eid, which 'Aishah quoted as an example. She did not mean that it was a verse of Ibn Rawāhah, as 'Aishah herself sometimes referred it to Tarafah.
