বাংলা অনুবাদ

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না ও মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু বাশশার (রহঃ) ..... সা'দ (রাযিঃ) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, কোন লোকের পেট পুঁজ দিয়ে ভরাট হয়ে যাওয়া যা তার পেটকে পঁচিয়ে বিনষ্ট করে দেয়, তা কবিতায় ভর্তি হওয়ার চেয়ে উত্তম। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৬৯৭, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
