Sahih Muslim Book - 41, Hadith - 5895
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ يُحَنِّسَ ، مَوْلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ إِذْ عَرَضَ شَاعِرٌ يُنْشِدُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : خُذُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ، أَوْ أَمْسِكُوا الشَّيْطَانَ لأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ رَجُلٍ قَيْحًا خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا.
It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) in Al-'Arj, we were met by a poet who was reciting poetry. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Catch the devil' - or: 'restrain the devil' - 'If the belly of man were to be filled with pus, that would be better for him than being filled with poetry."'

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
