حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ
أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ دَفَعَ وَلَدَهُ إِلَى الشَّعْبِيِّ يُؤَدِّبُهُمْ فَقَالَ عَلِّمْهُمُ الشِّعْرَ يَمْجُدُوا وَيُنْجِدُوا وَأَطْعِمْهُمُ اللَّحْمَ تَشْتَدُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَجُزَّ شُعُورَهُمْ تَشْتَدُّ رِقَابُهُمْ وَجَالِسْ بِهِمْ عِلْيَةَ الرِّجَالِ يُنَاقِضُوهُمُ الْكَلامَ
Translation
✧ ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān handed his sons over to al-Shaʿbī to educate them. He said: “Teach them poetry so that they become noble and courageous. Feed them meat so that their hearts grow strong. Shave their hair so that their necks grow strong. And have them sit with the noble men so that they may challenge them in speech.”
