وَعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ.

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ، أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، فَكَيْفَ تَرَى ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ
