Note 1

some

(1) His statement: Some poetry is wisdom. The “some” indicates partiality. Ibn Battal said: Poetry or rhymed prose that mentions Allah, the Exalted, His glorification, His oneness, preference for His obedience, and submission to Him is good and encouraged. This is what is meant by wisdom in the Hadith. Poetry that contains lies or obscenity is blameworthy, as meant by the Hadith: “That a man’s stomach be filled with pus is better than it being filled with poetry.” As stated in Umdat Al-Qari.

قوله

(۱) قوله: إن من الشعر حكمة فيه من تبعيضية، قال ابن بطال : ما كان في الشعر والرجز ذكر الله تعالى وتعظيمه ووحدانيته وإيثار طاعته والاستسلام له فهو حسن يرغب فيه، وهو المراد في الحديث بأنه حكمة، وما كان كذبا وفحشا فهو المذموم، وهو المراد في الحديث بأن يمتلئ جوف رجل قيحا خير له من أن يمتلئ شعرا. قاله في «عمدة القاري».
