عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا هَلْ سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَمَثَّلُ شِعْرًا قَطُّ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَحْيَانًا إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِيكَ بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ
Ibn 'Abbas said, "This is something that a Prophet said, 'News will come to you from someone you do not furnish with travel provisions' (meaning that he had quoted it."
