ever used poetry as an example.
Did he ever have like a piece of
poetry that he recited or repeated or he
uses a proverb or found value in pointing
out?
And it's just a question that came because
poetry for the Arab was the documentation of
their history, of their legacy, of their culture.
It was all put together in poetry.
So the Arabic nation did not build great
tall buildings or leave large architectural findings.
What they left was a legacy of literature,
a very strong and rich legacy of literature.
And within that literature, they documented all of
their habits and their stories and their heroism
and the fights and the glory and the
defeats and everything was there.
So it's a big deal.
And the Prophet ﷺ brought the Qur'an.
So it's always understanding that he was trying
to override share, which is not the case
at all.
He had no interest in doing that.
He actually enjoyed poetry.
I'm going to write this hadith tonight and
tomorrow just to kind of prove that piece.
He didn't come and say, get rid of
poetry.
Here's the Qur'an.
No, no, no.
The Qur'an is something different.
The Qur'an is revelation.
It's the word of God.
Poetry is a part of life.
It's a part of the human experience.
So when she was asked, Aisha, this question,
what examples of poetry did the Prophet ﷺ
repeat?
She said, he would always repeat the poetry
of Abdullah ibn Rawaha, one of his poets.
And he would repeat this one piece of
poetry that is not actually written by Abdullah
ibn Rawaha.
It was authored by Turafa ibn al-Abd,
one of the great poets of pre-Islamic
time.
One of the authors of the Mualliqat.
The Arabs went a little bit too far
when it came to poetry.
Some poems were of such cultural value that
they wrote them with golden ink.
And they hung them inside the Kaaba as
a way to kind of talk about their
value.
And there are seven pieces of poetry that
got that.
And one of them was the poetry written
by Turafa ibn al-Abd, who was a
young man who died before the age of
30.
But he said some of the most influential
poetry of his time.
And a part of it he said, قَلْ
وَيَأْتِيكَ بِالْأَخْبَارِ مَلَّمْ تُزَوِّدِ And sometimes you'll be
supplied with information by someone you did not
actually put up for the job.
Meaning, you don't always know where you're going
to get your next chance.
You don't always know who is it that's
going to be of most benefit to you.
Sometimes you'll put up someone for a job,
and they won't do it.
And then someone else will do it for
free.
Free of charge.
Because it's just how life works.
So that's the first hadith.
The second one, قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّرُ بِالْمُثَنَّ قَالَ
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّرُ بِالْمُجَافَرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْأَسْوَرِ
بِالْإِبْنِ قَيْسِ that
the sahaba would talk about it and they
would commonly, the sahaba would smile and grin
when the Prophet ﷺ tried to say poetry
because it never came out with the proper
structure of it so they'd come and kind
of giggle under their breath and repeat whatever
he said ﷺ even though it didn't follow
the structure of appropriate poetry ﷺ and I
always believed in my heart that he did
that on purpose this is a sideline, it
has nothing to do with today's khatr I
just wanted to share it with you this
is one of my kind of understandings I
always believed he did it on purpose he
was way too intelligent not to be able
to pick up simple rhythms of poetry he
was way too smart ﷺ he knew so
much of this poetry that I know for
a fact that he knew some of these
rhythms but it was as if he wanted
to leave something for the sahaba where they
could relate you see he was so good
at everything ﷺ he was almost seen like
a superhuman when you're good at literally everything
that people are good at people struggle to
relate to you so ﷺ would leave something
open that I don't know how to do
that I don't understand it, I don't know
how to say it and as if that
piece, just him not knowing how to put
together like a verse of poetry or not
memorizing poetry and always saying it wrong was
something that the sahaba felt that they could
relate to him through ﷺ that he's good
at everything but this one thing he doesn't
but I know he knew how to do
it ﷺ because it's not that complicated it's
not that difficult I see it in the
way I look at it it's just a
very intelligent move from him ﷺ to better
relate to some of the sahaba in how
they lived their lives and I just thought
something worth sharing with you ...
