What does the Qur'an say about the Prophet not being a poet or possessed?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 69:40–43 That this is in truth the speech of an illustrious messenger. IT IS NOT POET'S SPEECH - little is it that ye believe. NOR DIVINER'S SPEECH - little is it that ye remember. It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. In as ONE PASSAGE because the two denials are consecutive and each carries its own reproach, and because the positive claim frames them.
  2. 02 52:29–30 Therefor warn men. BY THE GRACE OF GOD THOU ART NEITHER SOOTHSAYER NOR MADMAN. Or say they: a poet, one for whom we may expect the accident of time? In as ONE PASSAGE because 52:30 quotes the charge that 52:29 denies, and adds the detail that they were waiting for him to die.
  3. 03 68:2–4 THOU ART NOT, FOR THY LORD'S FAVOUR UNTO THEE, A MADMAN. And lo, thine verily will be a reward unfailing. AND LO, THOU ART OF A TREMENDOUS NATURE. In as ONE PASSAGE because the denial is immediately followed by the strongest positive statement about his character in the Qur'an.
  4. 04 21:5 Nay, say they: MUDDLED DREAMS; nay, HE HATH BUT INVENTED IT; nay, HE IS BUT A POET. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old were sent with portents. In because it stacks three incompatible accusations in one sentence, which is itself the reply.
  5. 05 37:36–37 And said: SHALL WE FORSAKE OUR GODS FOR A MAD POET? Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent before him. In as ONE PASSAGE because the accusation and the flat answer are consecutive.
  6. 06 26:224–227 As for poets, THE ERRING FOLLOW THEM. Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley, and how they say that which they do not? Save those who believe and do good works and remember God much. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is the Qur'an's own account of what is wrong with poets - and because 26:227 exempts some of them, which is almost never quoted.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The charges were poet, soothsayer, and madman, and the Qur'an records all three and answers each.

21:5 is the most useful verse, because it stacks them: MUDDLED DREAMS - no, HE HAS INVENTED IT - no, HE IS A POET. Three explanations in one breath, and they are mutually inconsistent. A man having confused dreams is not a man deliberately fabricating, and neither is a poet. The verse preserves the incoherence.

69:41-42 denies two of them in successive lines and attaches a different reproach to each: IT IS NOT POET'S SPEECH - little is it that YE BELIEVE - NOR DIVINER'S SPEECH - little is it that YE REMEMBER.

52:29-30 denies soothsayer and madman together, and then quotes the poet charge with a detail worth having: they say he is A POET FOR WHOM WE MAY EXPECT THE ACCIDENT OF TIME - that is, they were waiting for him to die and the problem to resolve itself.

68:2-4 is the most striking. THOU ART NOT A MADMAN - and then, two lines later, THOU ART OF A TREMENDOUS NATURE, or a sublime character, or a mighty morality. The denial of derangement is followed immediately by the highest statement about him in the book.

26:224-227 is the Qur'an on poets in general, and it is more careful than its reputation. The charge is not that poetry is false but that poets STRAY IN EVERY VALLEY AND SAY WHAT THEY DO NOT DO - inconsistency between speech and conduct. And 26:227 exempts those who believe, do good and remember God much. The exception is rarely quoted and it belongs in the record.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 69:40–43, widening across 6 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 6 passages, each with every cleared translation

6 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

26:224 ხოლო პოეტებს გზააბნეულნი მიჰყვებიან[1].

26:225 ნუთუ ვერ ხედავ [ო, შუამავალო] მათ [პოეტებს], რომ ყველ ხეობაში დაეხეტებიან [ხან ქებაში, ხან კი ცუდად ხსენებაში],

26:226 და ამბობენ [პოეტები] იმას, რასაც არ აკეთებენ?

26:227 გარდა მათი [იმ პოეტებისგან], რომელთაც ირწმუნეს, სიკეთეები აკეთეს და ახსენებდნენ ალლაჰს ხშირად, და გაიმარჯვეს [მტრებზე] იმის შემდეგ, რაც უსამართლოდ მოექცნენ. ხოლო ისინი, რომელთაც უსამართლოდ მოიქცნენ, მალე შეიტყობენ, თუ სად დაბრუნდებიან [განკითხვის დღეს]!

26:224 Und die Dichter - es folgen ihnen die Verirrten.

26:225 Hast du nicht gesehen, dass sie in jedem Tal ziellos umherwandern

26:226 und dass sie sagen, was sie nicht tun?

26:227 Ausgenommen sind diejenigen, die glauben, rechtschaffene Taten verrichten und Allahs häufig gedenken und sich (erst) selbst helfen, nachdem ihnen ja Unrecht zugefügt wurde. Und diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, werden erfahren, was für eine Rückkehr sie haben werden.

26:224 [Δεν ισχύει αυτό που ισχυρίζεστε, ω, ειδωλολάτρες, ότι ο Μωχάμμαντ είναι ποιητής]! Όσο για τους ποιητές (ειδωλολάτρες που κατακρίνουν τον Προφήτη), είναι αυτοί που τους ακολουθούν οι παραπλανημένοι (που επαναλαμβάνουν τα λόγια τους).

26:225 Δε βλέπεις (ω, Προφήτη) ότι (εκείνοι οι ειδωλολάτρες ποιητές) μιλούν σε κάθε είδος μάταιων λόγων (και ψεμάτων)! [Συκοφαντούν τις γυναίκες, κακολογούν τους καλούς και επαινούν τους κακούς]!

26:226 Και ότι λένε πράγματα που δεν τα εφαρμόζουν!

26:227 Εκτός απ' αυτούς (τους πιστούς ποιητές, όπως τον Χασσάν μπιν Θάμπιτ) που πιστεύουν, κάνουν ενάρετες πράξεις, μνημονεύουν πολύ τον Αλλάχ και υπερασπίζονται τον εαυτό τους (μέσω της ποίησης ενάντια στους άπιστους) αφού αδικήθηκαν, (γι' αυτούς τους πιστούς ποιητές, δεν υπάρχει τίποτα μεμπτό). Πράγματι, θα μάθουν οι άδικοι σε ποιο προορισμό θα επιστρέψουν!

26:224 और कवि लोग, उनके पीछे भटके हुए लोग ही चलते हैं।

26:225 क्या आपने नहीं देखा कि वे प्रत्येक वादी में भटकते फिरते[42] हैं।

26:226 और यह कि निःसंदेह ऐसी बात कहते हैं, जो करते नहीं।

26:227 सिवाय उन (कवियों) के, जो[43] ईमान लाए, और अच्छे कर्म किए और अल्लाह को बहुत याद किया तथा बदला लिया, इसके बाद कि उनके ऊपर ज़ुल्म किया गया। तथा वे लोग, जिन्होंने अत्याचार किया, शीघ्र ही जान लेंगे कि वे किस जगह लौटकर जाएँगे।

26:225 225. Argi nematai, kad jie kalba apie kiekvieną dalyką (šlovindami žmones – gerus ar blogus) savo poezijose?

26:226 226. Ir kad jie sako tai, ko nedaro.

26:227 227. Išskyrus tuos, kurie tiki (Allaho Vienumą – islamiškąjį monoteizmą) ir daro teisingus darbus, ir dažnai prisimena Allahą, ir pateisina save po to, kai buvo suklaidinti [atsakydami į poeziją neteisingai poezijai (kurią pagonių poetai sako prieš musulmonus)]. O tie, kurie elgiasi blogai, sužinos kokiu pralaimėjimu jie bus nuversti.

26:227 Кроме тех, которые уверовали, совершали праведные деяния, много поминали Аллаха и защитили себя после того, как с ними поступили несправедливо. А те, которые поступали несправедливо, вскоре узнают, каким будет их возвращение.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it3 of the 4 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 69:40-43, 52:29-30, 68:2-4, 21:5, 37:36-37, 26:224-227, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - not + the + speech + of + a + poet; nor + is + it + the + speech + of + a + soothsayer; madman; thou + art + not + by + grace + of + thy + lord + a + madman; poet. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
