Hadith 17:760
Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, he said: Sharik informed us, from Simak ibn Harb, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: We used to come to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and one of us would sit where he ended up. They would discuss poetry and the talk of the Jahiliyyah in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he would not forbid them, and sometimes he would smile.
حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال أخبرنا شريك عن سماك بن حرب عن جابر بن سمرة قال كنا نأتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيجلس أحدنا حيث ينتهي وكانوا يتذاكرون الشعر وحديث الجاهلية عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلا ينهاهم وربما يتبسم
