Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 36 Ya-Sin, Ayat 69-69

وَمَا عَلَّمۡنٰهُ الشِّعۡرَ وَمَا يَنۡۢبَغِىۡ لَهٗؕ اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ وَّقُرۡاٰنٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏ ﴿36:69﴾

(36:69) We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him.58 This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book


Notes

58. This is a rejoinder to the disbelievers, who slighted the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his message by branding him a poet when he preached Tauhid and talked of the Hereafter, life-after-death, and Hell and Heaven. (For further explanation, see (Surah Ash-Shuara, Ayats 224-227) and the E.Ns thereof).
