فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ نَشِيدِ اَلشِّعْرِ هَلْ يَنْقُضُ اَلْوُضُوءَ أَوْ ظُلْمِ اَلرَّجُلِ صَاحِبَهُ أَوِ اَلْكَذِبِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ شِعْراً يَصْدُقُ فِيهِ أَوْ يَكُونَ يَسِيراً مِنَ اَلشِّعْرِ اَلْأَبْيَاتَ اَلثَّلاَثَةَ وَ اَلْأَرْبَعَةَ فَأَمَّا أَنْ يُكْثِرَ مِنَ اَلشِّعْرِ اَلْبَاطِلِ فَهُوَ يَنْقُضُ اَلْوُضُوءَ».

Translation

As for what was narrated by Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from his brother Al-Hasan, from Zur‘ah, from Sama‘ah, who said: I asked Him (a.s) about reciting poetry - does it nullify ablution (wudu’)? Or about a man wronging his companion, or lying? He (a.s) said: "Yes, except if it is poetry in which he speaks the truth or a small amount of poetry - three or four verses. But as for excessive recitation of false poetry, it nullifies ablution (wudu’)."
