adab:865

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Poetry is in the same position as speech. The good of it is like good words and its bad part is like bad words."

الأدب المفرد:٨٦٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الشِّعْرُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْكَلاَمِ حَسَنُهُ كَحَسَنِ الْكَلامِ وَقَبِيحُهُ كَقَبِيحِ الْكَلامِ
