Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( والشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون ) قال علي بن أبي طلحة ، عن ابن عباس : يعني : الكفار ؛ يتبعهم ضلال الإنس والجن . وكذا قال مجاهد ، رحمه الله ، وعبد الرحمن بن زيد بن أسلم ، وغيرهما .وقال عكرمة : كان الشاعران يتهاجيان ، فينتصر لهذا فئام من الناس ، ولهذا فئام من الناس ، فأنزل الله : ( والشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون ) .وقال الإمام أحمد : حدثنا قتيبة ، حدثنا ليث ، عن ابن الهاد ، عن يحنس - مولى مصعب بن الزبير - عن أبي سعيد قال : بينما نحن نسير مع رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بالعرج ، إذ عرض شاعر ينشد ، فقال النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : " خذوا الشيطان - أو أمسكوا الشيطان - لأن يمتلئ جوف أحدكم قيحا خير له من أن يمتلئ شعرا " .
