حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَبَّانِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأُمَوِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَنْبَأَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ} [القلم 42] قَالَ: إِذَا خَفِي عَلَيْكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَابْتَغُوهُ فِي الشِّعْرِ فَإِنَّهُ دِيوَانُ الْعَرَبِ۔ أَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ [البحر الرجز] اصْبِرْ عَنَاقَ إِنَّهُ شَرٌّ بَاقٍ، قَدْ سَنَّ قَوْمَكَ ضَرْبُ الْأَعْنَاقْ؛ وَقَامَتِ الْحَرْبُ بِنَا عَنْ سَاقْ۔ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَذَا يَوْمُ كَرْبٍ وَشِدَّةٍ

that he (Ibn ʿAbbās) asked regarding ˹Allah's˺ statement ﷻ, 'The day the shin will be exposed' (Qalam 68:42), he said: 'If something is hidden from the Quran for you then seek it in poetry, for it is the dīwān (register) of the Arabs.' As you've heard the poet saying: [..poetry omitted..], Ibn ʿAbbās said: 'This is the day of distress and severity.'

This ḥadīth has a sound chain. This is a more appropriate ḥadith than the one narrated by Ibn Masʿūd through a sound chain, whose narration does not add significance to this topic.
