Poetry as Wisdom

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that some poetry can be wise and contain wisdom.

Narrated 'Abdullah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed some poetry is wisdom"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ إِنَّمَا رَفَعَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى غَيْرُهُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَوْقُوفًا ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَبُرَيْدَةَ وَكَثِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Abdullah states that the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that some poetry can be wise and contain wisdom. This hadith is a reminder to us to look for the good in all things, even in something as seemingly trivial as poetry. It also teaches us to not judge something before we have fully understood it, and to look for the positive aspects of any situation or thing. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to think deeply about things before making a judgement on them; if we take time to reflect on what we are seeing or hearing, then we may find hidden gems of wisdom within them.

The Prophet Muhammad's teachings were always full of insight and understanding; this hadith is no exception. He was able to see beyond surface level appearances and recognize the potential for knowledge contained within different forms of expression such as poetry. This is an important lesson for all Muslims today; it reminds us not only to seek out knowledge but also appreciate its beauty when found in unexpected places.
