إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً
Translation: Indeed, some poetry contains wisdom.
Source: البخاري
Poetry can make an idea memorable through rhythm and expressive language. Some verses encourage justice, patience, gratitude, and sound judgment. Such poetry contains wisdom. Yet beautiful phrasing does not guarantee that a claim is true.
مِنَ الشِّعْرِ means “of poetry” or “some poetry”; مِنْ here indicates that only a portion is intended. حِكْمَةً means wisdom. The report praises some poetry, not every poetic statement without distinction.
Evaluate the message of a poem, not just the attractiveness of its words.
