Jami at-Tirmidhi 2845 — Poetry With Wisdom

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2845

This narration from Ibn Abbas repeats the teaching that some poetry is wisdom. The wording in the translation says, “Indeed some poetry is wisdom.” This hadith about poetry in Islam helps readers see a balanced point: poetry is not judged only by being poetry. Some of it can carry wise speech. The narration does not say every poem is good, and it does not say poetry should fill a person’s heart more than faith and guidance. It simply confirms that poetic words may contain sound meaning. The search term “indeed some poetry is wisdom” is the core phrase because it captures the hadith in a simple way.
