حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ‏:‏ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ إِيَاسُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ أَلاَ أُنْشِدُكَ مِنْ شِعْرِي يَا ابْنَ الْفَارُوقِ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ بَلَى، وَلَكِنْ لاَ تُنْشِدْنِي إِلاَّ حَسَنًا‏.‏ فَأَنْشَدَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ شَيْئًا كَرِهَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ لَهُ‏:‏ أَمْسِكْ‏.‏

‘Abdullah ibn Muhammad related to us, saying: Abu ‘Amir related to us, saying: Ayyub ibn Thabit related to us, from Khalid—Ibn Kaysan—who said: I was with Ibn ‘Umar when Iyas ibn Khaythama stopped by him and said: “Shall I recite some of my poetry to you, Ibn al-Faruq?” He said: “Yes, but recite only what is good.” He recited until he reached something Ibn ‘Umar disliked, and Ibn ‘Umar said to him: “Stop.”
