حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَسْفَاطِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ثنا مَسْعُودُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْشُدُكَ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَنْشَدَهُ الرَّابِعَةَ مِدْحَةً لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الشُّعَرَاءِ يُحْسِنُ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ»
