Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #873
Poetry
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: {وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ}، فَنَسَخَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَاسْتَثْنَى فَقَالَ: {إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {يَنْقَلِبُونَ}.
In respect of "And as for the poets, is the misled who follow
them. Do you not see how they ramble on in every style and that they say
things which they do not do?" (26:223-225), Ibn 'Abbas said that it
was abrogated and that an exception was made in His words, "except for
those who believe and do right actions the kind of reversal they
will receive." (26:226)
