If the Quran and the knowledge (of religion) are dominant, the belly will not be full of poetry in our opinion. Some eloquent speech is magic. It means that a man expresses his eloquence by praising another man, and he speaks the truth about him so much so that he attracts the hearts to his speech. He then condemns him and speaks the truth about him so much so that he attracts the hearts to another of his speech, as if he spelled the audience by it. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-5009/)* --- ## Hadith #5115 **Book:** General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdullah عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن مسعود الهذلي, Abu Ja'far al-Nafaili عبد الله بن محمد أبو جعفر النفيلي الحران, ibn Mas'ud, Smak bin Hrb bin Aws سماك بن حرب بن أوس, Zuhayr bin Mua'wiya bin Hudayj زهير بن معاوية بن حديج | **Grade:** Sahih If anyone pretends to be the son of a man other than his father, or attributes his freedom to people other than those who set him free, on him will be the curse of Allah that will continue till the day of resurrection. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-5115/)* --- ## Hadith #5116 **Book:** General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** Abdullah bin Dinar عبد الله بن دينار العدوي, Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdullah bin Dinar عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن دينار, Abu 'Amir al-'Aqdi عبد الملك بن عمرو القيسي أبو عامر العقدي, Muhammad bin Bashar Bindar محمد بن بشار بندار, Smak bin Hrb bin Aws سماك بن حرب بن أوس, Sufyan bin Sa‘id Ath-Thawri سفيان الثوري | **Grade:** Hasan The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah, Most High, has removed from you the pride of the pre-Islamic period and its boasting in ancestors.
