[3/45] معاني الاخبار: أبي، عن سعد، عن ابن أبي الخطاب، عن ابن محبوب، عن حماد ابن عثمان، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام في قول الله عز وجل: “والشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون” قال: هل رأيت شاعرا يتبعه أحد؟ إنما هم قوم تفقهوا لغير الدين فضلوا وأضلوا
Published English translation
3. [3/45] Ma’ani al-Akhbar: My father from Sa’d from Ibn Abi al-Khattab from Ibn Mahbub from Hammad b. Uthman from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام in regards the words of Allāh Mighty and Majestic: “and the poets – only the astray follow them” (26:224) he said: have you seen anyone following the poet? rather it (“poets” in the verse) refers to a group who gain understanding (seek knowledge) for other than the religion so they themselves become misguided and also misguide others.

- Arabic and English texts preserved verbatim from pinned snapshot. Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately. Search normalization is not applied to displayed text.
- verification Note
- Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
