    📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 36

    "Saying: 'Shall we abandon our gods because of the saying of a mad poet [37]'"

    ✅ [37] Mislabeling the Prophet and His Message

    From this we learn that by calling him a "mad poet," they did not mean that the verse was poetic—because the Holy Prophet ﷺ did not recite poetry.

    What they intended was to dismiss his speech as false talk.

    In Arab culture, even prose speech was sometimes loosely referred to as poetry, and this is clarified in the verse of Surah Yasin:
    "And We have not taught him to compose verses" (36:69).

    Therefore, it is wrong to use this verse to claim that the Holy Prophet ﷺ lacked knowledge. The verse simply affirms that he was not a poet, not that he was unaware or incapable.
