Hadith 17:721
Waki’ narrated to us, from al-A’mash, from Abu Khalid al-Walibi, who said: We used to sit with the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and they would recite poetry to one another and mention the affairs of the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era).
حدثنا وكيع عن الأعمش عن أبي خالد الوالبي قال كنا نجالس أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتناشدون الأشعار ويذكرون أمر الجاهلية
