[Machine] While we were walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a barren land, a poet appeared reciting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Capture the devil or restrain the devil, as it is better for a man to have his belly full of pus than to have it full of poetry."
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْعَرْجِ إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لَأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا
