Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ تَلِيدٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ‏:‏ الشِّعْرُ مِنْهُ حَسَنٌ وَمِنْهُ قَبِيحٌ، خُذْ بِالْحَسَنِ وَدَعِ الْقَبِيحَ، وَلَقَدْ رَوَيْتُ مِنْ شِعْرِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَشْعَارًا، مِنْهَا الْقَصِيدَةُ فِيهَا أَرْبَعُونَ بَيْتًا، وَدُونَ ذَلِكَ‏.‏

Sa‘id ibn Talid related to us, saying: Ibn Wahb related to us, saying: Jabir ibn Isma‘il and others informed me, from ‘Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, from ‘Urwa, from ‘A’isha, may Allah be pleased with her, that she used to say: “Some poetry is good and some is bad. Take what is good and leave what is bad. I have narrated poems from the poetry of Ka‘b ibn Malik, including an ode of forty verses, and others shorter than that.”
