Hadith 17:783
Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Hanzala, from Salim, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "For a man to be filled with pus is better for him than to be filled with poetry."
حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى عن حنظلة عن سالم عن أبيه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأن يمتلئ الرجل قيحا خير له من أن يمتلئ شعرا
