Filling the Stomach with Pus vs Poetry

SUMMARY: It is better to fill one's stomach with pus than to fill it with poetry.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "It is better that one of you fill his insides with puss than to fill it with poetry".
حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى الرَّمْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي، يَحْيَى بْنُ عِيسَى الرَّمْلِيُّ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ أَحَدِكُمْ قَيْحًا يَرِيهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that it is better for us to fill our stomachs with food, even if it is not the best quality, than to fill our minds and hearts with poetry. This hadith emphasizes the importance of taking care of our physical health and well-being over intellectual pursuits. We should strive for a balance between both, but when we have limited resources or time, we should prioritize taking care of ourselves first. This hadith also teaches us that there are some things in life that are more important than others and that we should be mindful of how we spend our time and energy.
