بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

36.69

وَ مَا عَلَّمْنٰهُ الشِّعْرَ وَ مَا یَنْۢبَغِیْ لَهٗؕ-اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ وَّ قُرْاٰنٌ مُّبِیْنٌۙ (69)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And We have neither taught him (i.e. the Beloved Prophet Muhammad) to recite poetry, nor does it befit his dignity. That (what he recites to you) is nothing but advice and the Luminous Qur'aan.

Commentary

The disbelievers of Quraysh would refer to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as a poet and to the Quran as poetry. By this, they meant that just as poetry is composed of fabrications and exaggerations, so too—we seek the refuge of Allah—is the Quran a fabrication. It is this point that is refuted here, for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not possess the attribute of uttering false expressions, and neither does this book consist of lies.
