[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, there is wisdom in poetry." The words of Al-Shafi'i's hadith, and in the narration of Abu Dawood, it is said by Abu ibn Ka'b, from the Prophet ﷺ : "Verily, there is wisdom in poetry."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ قَالَ عَنْ أُبِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً  

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, there is wisdom in poetry."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً  

In poetry there is wisdom. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5010)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً  

[Machine] He said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ , said, "The most truthful saying said by the Arabs is: Behold! Everything other than Allah is false." This hadith was reported in Sahih from the narration of Ghandar from Shu'bah.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَصْدَقُ بَيْتٍ قَالَتْهُ الْعَرَبُ أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا اللهَ بَاطِلٌ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ غُنْدَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ  

[Machine] It means for a people who have Abu Huraira among them, I ask you by Allah, have you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Answer for me, has Allah supported you with the Holy Spirit?" So he said, "O Allah, yes."  

يَعْنِي لِقَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَجِبْ عَنِّي أَيَّدَكَ اللهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ؟ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "O Hassan, respond on behalf of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . O Allah, support him with the Holy Spirit." Abu Hurairah replied, "Yes."  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَا حَسَّانُ أَجِبْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Hassaan, "Incite them and Jibreel is with you," the wording of the Hadith of Wahb, and in the narration of Sulaiman, "Incite them or he said, 'Hajihim,' and Jibreel is with you."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِحَسَّانَ اهْجُهُمْ وَجِبْرِيلُ مَعَكَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ وَهْبٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ اهْجُهُمْ أَوْ قَالَ هَاجِهِمْ وَجِبْرَئِيلُ مَعَكَ  

[Machine] Hassan said, "O Messenger of Allah, give me permission regarding my father Sufyan." He ﷺ said, "What about your connection to him?" He said, "By the One who honored you, I will ask you about them as easily as one would ask for a hair from dough." Then Hassan said, "Indeed, the prestige and glory belongs to the family of Hashim, the children of Makhzum's daughter, and your father, the slave."  

حَسَّانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ فَكَيْفَ بِقَرَابَتِي مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ الْخَمِيرِ فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ [البحر الطويل] إِنَّ سَنَامَ الْمَجْدِ مِنْ آلِ هَاشِمٍ بَنُو بِنْتِ مَخْزُومٍ وَوَالِدُكَ الْعَبْدُ  

Now you have called for this lion who strikes (the enemies) with his tail. He then brought out his tongue and began to move it and said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, I shall tear them with my tongue as the leather is torn. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Don't be hasty; (let) Abu Bakr who has the best know- ledge of the lineage of the Quraish draw a distinction for you in regard to my lineage, as my lineage is thesame as theirs. Hassan then came to him (Abu Bakr) and after making inquiry (in regard to the lineage of the Holy Prophet) came back to him (the holy Prophet) and said: Messenger of Allah, he (Abu Bakr) has drawn a distinction in vour lineage (and that of the Quraish) By Him Who has sent you with Truth, I shall draw out from them (your name) as hair is drawn out from the flour. 'A'isha said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying to Hassin: Verily Ruh-ul- Qudus would continue to help you so long as you put up a defence on behalf of Allah and His Messenger. And she said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: Hassan satirised against them and gave satisfaction to the (Muslims) and disquieted (the non-Muslims). You satirised Muhammad, but I replied on his behalf, And there is reward with Allah for this. You satirised Muhammad. virtuous, righteous, The Apostle of Allah, whose nature is truthfulness. So verily my father and his father and my honour Are a protection to the honour of Muhammad; May I lose my dear daughter, if you don't see her, Wiping away the dust from the two sides of Kada', They pull at the rein, going upward; On their shoulders are spears thirsting (for the blood of the enemy) ; our steeds are sweating-our women wipe them with their mantles. If you had not interfered with us, we would have performed the 'Umra, And (then) there was the Victory, and the darkness cleared away. Otherwise wait for the fighting on the day in which Allah will honour whom He pleases. And Allah said: I have sent a servant who says the Truth in which there is no ambiguity; And Allah said: I have prepared an army-they are the Ansar whose object is fighting (the enemy), There reaches every day from Ma'add abuse, or fighting or satire; Whoever satirises the Apostle from amongst you, or praises him and helps it is all the same, And Gabriel, the Messenger of Allah is among us, and the Holy Spirit who has no match. (Using translation from Muslim 2490)   

اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اهْجُوا قُرَيْشًا فَإِنَّهُ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ رَشْقِ النَّبْلِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَالَ اهْجُ فَهَجَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يَرْضَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ حَسَّانُ قَدْ آنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُرْسِلُوا إِلَى هَذَا الْأَسَدِ الضَّارِبِ بِذَنَبِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْلَعَ لِسَانَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُحَرِّكُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَأَفْرِيَنَّهُمْ بِلِسَانِي فَرْيَ الْأَدِيمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَعْجَلْ فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمُ قُرَيْشٍ بِأَنْسَابِهَا وَإِنَّ لِي فِيهِمْ نَسَبًا حَتَّى يُخَلِّصَ لَكَ نَسَبِي فَأَتَاهُ حَسَّانُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ مَحَضَ لِي نَسَبَكَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِحَسَّانَ إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ لَا يَزَالُ يُؤَيِّدُكَ مَا نَافَحْتَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ هَجَاهُمْ حَسَّانُ فَشَفَى وَاشْتَفَى فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ [البحر الوافر] هَجَوْتَ مُحَمَّدًا فَأَجَبْتُ عَنْهُ وَعِنْدَ اللهِ فِي ذَاكَ الْجَزَاءُ هَجَوْتَ مُحَمَّدًا بَرًّا حَنِيفًا رَسُولَ اللهِ شِيمَتُهُ الْوَفَاءُ فَإِنَّ أَبِي وَوَالِدَهُ وَعِرْضِي لِعِرْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْكُمْ وِقَاءُ ثَكِلْتُ بُنَيَّتِي إِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا تُثِيرُ النَّقْعَ مَوْعِدُهَا كَدَاءُ يُنَازِعْنَ الْأَسِنَّةَ مُشْرَعَاتٍ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهَا الْأَسَلُ الظِّمَاءُ تَظَلُّ جِيَادُنَا مُتَمَطِّرَاتٍ تُلَطِّمُهُنَّ بِالْخُمُرِ النِّسَاءُ فَإِنْ أَعْرَضْتُمُ عَنَّا اعْتَمَرْنَا وَكَانَ الْفَتْحُ وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ وَإِلَّا فَاصْبِرُوا لِضِرَابِ يَوْمٍ يُعِزُّ اللهُ فِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَقَالَ اللهُ قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ عَبْدًا يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ لَيْسَ بِهِ خَفَاءُ وَقَالَ اللهُ قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ جُنْدًا هُمُ الْأَنْصَارُ عَزْمَتُهَا اللِّقَاءُ لَنَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ مَعَدٍّ سِبَاءٌ أَوْ قِتَالٌ أَوْ هِجَاءُ فَمَنْ يَهْجُو رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنْكُمْ وَيَمْدَحُهُ وَيَنْصُرُهُ سَوَاءُ وَجِبْرِيلٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ فِينَا وَرُوحُ الْقُدْسِ لَيْسَ لَهُ كِفَاءُ  

We went to ʿAisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her reciting poetry to her from some of his poetic verses, saying "A chaste wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion. She gets up with an empty stomach because she never eats the flesh of indiscreet (ladies)." ʿAisha said to him, "But you are not like that." I said to her, "Why do you grant him admittance, though Allah said:-- "and as for him among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe torment." (24.11) On that, ʿAisha said, "And what punishment is more than blinding?" She, added, "Hassan used to defend or say poetry on behalf of Messenger of Allah ﷺ (against the infidels). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4146)   

رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ وَتُصْبِحُ غَرْثَى مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَوَافِلِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ لَكِنَّكَ لَسْتَ كَذَاكَ قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لِمَ تَأْذَنِينَ لَهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكِ؟ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} [النور 11] فَقَالَتْ فَأَيُّ عَذَابٍ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعَمَى؟ وَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُنَافِحُ أَوْ يُهَاجِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] He said to the Prophet, "Indeed, Allah has revealed in poetry what He has not revealed in other forms. He said, 'Indeed, the believer strives with his sword and his tongue. By the One in whose hand my soul is, it is as if you are throwing pearls at them.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَرْمُونَهُمْ بِهِ نَضْحُ النَّبْلِ كَذَا قَالَ  

[Machine] That Ka'b bin Malik, when Allah revealed in poetry what He revealed, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him, "Indeed, Allah has revealed in poetry what you have knowledge of, so how do you see it?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the believer strives with his sword and his tongue."  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُجَاهِدُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَلِسَانِهِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is as if you are showering them with flowing pearls with what you say to them of poetry."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا تَنْضَحُونَهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ فِيمَا تَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ  

The verse “And the poets it is those straying in evil who follow them. He (Allah) then abrogated it and made an exception saying: Except those who believe and work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5016)   

{وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ} [الشعراء 224] فَنَسَخَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَاسْتَثْنَى فَقَالَ {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللهَ كَثِيرًا} [الشعراء 227]  

That once Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your brother, i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha does not say obscene (referring to his verses): Amongst us is Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who recites His Book when it dawns. He showed us the guidance, after we were blind. We believe that whatever he says will come true. And he spends his nights in such a way as his sides do not touch his bed. While the pagans were deeply asleep." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1155)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَهُوَ يَقُصُّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ فِي قَصَصِهِ وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَخًا لَكُمْ لَا يَقُولُ الرَّفَثَ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ قَالَ [البحر الطويل] وَفِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ يَتْلُو كِتَابَهُ إِذَا انْشَقَّ مَعْرُوفٌ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ سَاطِعُ أَرَانَا الْهُدَى بَعْدَ الْعَمَى فَقُلُوبُنَا بِهِ مُوقِنَاتٌ أَنَّ مَا قَالَ وَاقِعُ يَبِيتُ يُجَافِي جَنْبَهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ إِذَا اسْتَثْقَلَتْ بِالْكَافِرِينَ الْمَضَاجِعُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about poetry and he said, "It is speech, and its beauty is beauty, and its ugliness is ugliness. It is accepted in a group, and the authentic narration from the Prophet ﷺ is considered as a clear message."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الشِّعْرِ فَقَالَ هُوَ كَلَامٌ فَحَسَنُهُ حَسَنٌ وَقَبِيحُهُ قَبِيحٌ وَصَلَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلٌ  

[Machine] Aisha asked: "Did the Prophet ﷺ ever emulate anything from poetry?" She said: "Perhaps he came in while saying 'news will come to you from someone who hasn't been informed.'"  

عَائِشَةُ ؓ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ؟ قَالَتْ رُبَّمَا دَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ سَيَأْتِيكَ بِالْأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تُزَوِّدِ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and recited to him [the poem titled] "The Raging Sea". "O Malik al-Nas and Deyan al-'Arab, I found a particle among the particles. I sought it as food in the month of Rajab. In the narration of Al-Karabissi, I went seeking it, but it left me in conflict and war. It violated the covenant and clung to sin. They are the worst adversary for one who is defeated." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then imitated it and said, "They are the worst adversary for one who is defeated." And Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us, who reported from Ahmad ibn 'Ubaid, who reported from Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Hulwani, who reported from Ibrahim ibn Ar'ara, who reported from Yusuf ibn Yazid Abu Ma'shar al-Bara', who reported from Tayasala ibn Nubatah al-Mazini, who reported from his father, and Al-Hayy reported from Ash'ha ibn Ma'iz. He said, "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and recited it to him. He remembered it except that he said, 'I married a particle,' and he said, 'I went seeking it,' and he said, 'But it opposed me in conflict and fled.' He did not mention the fifth line. And others have reported from Ibrahim Tayasala ibn Sadakah."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ [البحر الرجز] يَا مَالِكَ النَّاسِ وَدَيَّانَ الْعَرَبْ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ ذِرْبَةً مِنَ الذِّرَبْ غَدَوْتُ أَبْغِيهَا الطَّعَامَ فِي رَجَبْ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْكَرَابِيسِيِّ خَرَجْتُ أَبْغِيهَا فَخَلَّفَتْنِي بِنِزَاعٍ وَحَرَبْ أَخْلَفَتِ الْعَهْدَ وَلَطَّتْ بِالذَّنَبْ وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبْ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَمَثَّلُهَا وَيَقُولُ وَهُنَّ شَرُّ غَالِبٍ لِمَنْ غَلَبْ 21116 وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ الْبَرَاءُ أنبأ طَيْسَلَةُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ الْمَازِنِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَالْحِيُّ عَنْ أَعْشَى بْنِ مَاعِزٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ ذِرْبَةً وَقَالَ ذَهَبْتُ أَبْغِيهَا وَقَالَ فَخَالَفَتْنِي بِنِزَاعٍ وَهَرَبْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْبَيْتَ الْخَامِسَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ طَيْسَلَةُ بْنُ صَدَقَةَ  

[Machine] I asked him, "Did you see the Prophet ﷺ?" He said, "Yes, and he was a man of few words. His companions would recite poetry in front of him and talk about things from the pre-Islamic era, and he would smile with them when they laughed."  

قُلْتُ لَهُ رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَكَانَ طَوِيلَ الصَّمْتِ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ عِنْدَهُ وَيَذْكُرُونَ أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَيَضْحَكُونَ فَيَتَبَسَّمُ مَعَهُمْ إِذَا ضَحِكُوا  

[Machine] I asked Jabir ibn Samurah, "Did you used to sit with the Prophet ﷺ?" He said, "Yes, and he was often silent and rarely laughed. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ used to exchange poems, and the Prophet ﷺ would smile."  

قُلْتُ لِجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَكَانَ طَوِيلَ الصَّمْتِ قَلِيلَ الضَّحِكِ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَبَسَّمُ  

[Machine] "I saw people from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ reciting poetry near or around the house. I only heard someone say: The acts of Ibrahim are doubtful."  

رَأَيْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ أَوْ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا قَالَ مُحْرِمِينَ شَكَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ  

[Machine] The last gathering we sat in was a session where Zaid ibn Thabit recited poetry to us.  

إِنَّ آخِرَ مَجْلِسٍ جَالَسْنَا فِيهِ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ مَجْلِسٌ تَنَاشَدْنَا فِيهِ الشِّعْرَ  

[Machine] We used to sit with the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they would recite poetry to each other and talk about their days during the pre-Islamic period.  

كُنَّا نُجَالِسُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَتَنَاشَدُونَ الْأَشْعَارَ وَيَتَذَاكَرُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ  

[Machine] For me, poetry is indeed words, and indeed, from words, there are truths and falsehoods.  

لِي إِنَّ الشِّعْرَ كَلَامٌ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْكَلَامِ حَقًّا وَبَاطِلًا  

[Machine] The poets amongst the companions of Muhammad ﷺ were Abdullah ibn Rawaha, Hassaan ibn Thabit, and Ka'b ibn Malik.  

كَانَ شُعَرَاءُ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ وَحَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَكَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] If any of you reads something from the Quran and does not know its interpretation, then seek its interpretation in poetry, for it is the collection of the Arabs. This is the correct statement, which is attributed.  

إِذَا قَرَأَ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ مَا تَفْسِيرُهُ فَلْيَلْتَمِسْهُ فِي الشِّعْرِ فَإِنَّهُ دِيوَانُ الْعَرَبِ هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ مَوْقُوفٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, there is wisdom in poetry, and if something from the Quran becomes difficult for you, seek it in poetry, for it is Arabic in wording at first."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً وَإِذَا الْتَبَسَ عَلَيْكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَالْتَمِسُوهُ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ فَإِنَّهُ عَرَبِيٌّ اللَّفْظُ الْأَوَّلُ قَدْ
