He said to the Prophet ﷺ, "Allah has revealed concerning poetry what He has revealed."The Prophet replied, "The believer strives with his sword and his tongue. By the One in whose hand my soul is, it is as though what you strike them with is the shower of arrows."
أنه قال للنبي ﷺ: إن الله عز وجل قد أنزل في الشعر ما أنزل فقال: إن المؤمن يجاهد بسيفه ولسانه، والذي نفسي بيده لكأن ما ترمونهم به نضح النبل.
