The Wisdom of Poetry

SUMMARY: Poetry can be a source of wisdom.

Ubayy b. Ka’b reported the Prophet (May peace be upon him) as saying : In poetry there is wisdom.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of poetry and how it can be a source of wisdom. It was narrated by Ubayy b. Kab, who reported that the Prophet Muhammad said “In poetry there is wisdom”. This means that even though poetry may not always be taken seriously, it can still contain valuable lessons and insights into life and its complexities. The Prophet's words remind us to look for the deeper meaning in things, even if they are not immediately obvious or accepted by society as important or meaningful. We should also remember that knowledge comes from many sources, including literature and art forms such as poetry, which often contain hidden gems of wisdom that we may miss if we do not take the time to explore them further.
