Random ḥadīth in Aḥmad's Zuhd
[Machine] The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were not skillful speakers nor did they engage in poetry in their gatherings, and they did not mention the matters of their pre-Islamic era. So when one of them was asked about something related to his religion, his eyes would turn red as if he was insane.
