وَبِهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَدَّادُ، ثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ وَاصِلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، وَعُمُومَتِي، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَاعِرٌ، فَمَا تَرَى فِي الشِّعْرِ ؟ فَقَالَ: لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ مَا بَيْنَ لَبَّتِكَ إِلَى عَانَتِكَ قَيْحًا وَصَدِيدًا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا.

✧ I said: O Messenger of God, I am a poet, so what do you think of poetry? He replied: For what is between your chest and your pubic area to be filled with pus and ichor is better than for it to be filled with poetry.
