حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ شِعْرِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ: وَيَأْتِيكَ بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ.

Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah related to us, saying: Sharik related to us, from al-Miqdam ibn Shurayh, from his father, who said: I asked ‘A’isha, may Allah be pleased with her: “Did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ever quote any poetry?” She said: “He would quote some of the poetry of ‘Abdullah ibn Rawaha: ‘News comes to you from one whom you did not equip.’”
