حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ شَاعِرًا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ: أَلاَ أُنْشِدُكَ مَحَامِدَ حَمِدْتُ بِهَا رَبِّي؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُحِبُّ الْمَحَامِدَ، وَلَمْ يَزِدْنِي عَلَيْهِ.
Al-Aswad ibn Suray' said, "I was a poet and went to the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and asked, 'Shall I recite some
praises I have written for my Lord?' He said, 'Your Lord loves praise,'
and did not say anything more."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "It is better for a man to fill his belly
with oozing pus than to fill it with poetry."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتِ: اسْتَأْذَنَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هِجَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: فَكَيْفَ بِنِسْبَتِي؟ فَقَالَ: لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ.
'A'isha said, "Hassan ibn Thabit asked the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for permission to satirise the
idolaters. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'And what about my lineage?' He said, 'I will extract you from them
as a hair is taken from dough.'"
Al-Aswad ibn Suray' said, "Messenger of Allah, I have praised my
Lord, the Almighty and Exalted, in some words of praise." He said, "Your
Lord loves praise," and did not say anything more.
