حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا‏:‏ هَلْ سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَمَثَّلُ شِعْرًا قَطُّ‏؟‏ فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ أَحْيَانًا، إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ يَقُولُ‏:‏ وَيَأْتِيكَ بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ‏.‏

It is related that 'Ikrima said, "I asked 'A'isha, 'Did you ever hear the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, quoting poetry?' She replied, 'Sometimes when he entered a house, he would say, "News will come to you from someone you do not furnish with travel provisions."*'"
