قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ الشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ} [يس: 69] وَقَالَ: {فَآمِنُوا بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ} [الأعراف: 158] قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ التَّفْسِيرِ: الْأُمِّيُّ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْكِتَابَ وَلَا يَخُطُّ بِيَمِينِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا قَوْلُ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ التَّفْسِيرِ.
Allah Almighty says: "And We did not teach him poetry, nor is it befitting for him." [Surah Ya-Sin: 69]
And He said: "So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet." [Surah al-A'raf: 158]
Some of the scholars of tafsir said: "The unlettered one is he who neither reads a book nor writes with his right hand."
The Shaykh (Imam al-Bayhaqi) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This is the view of Muqatil bin Sulayman and other scholars of tafsir."
And He said: "So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet." [Surah al-A'raf: 158]

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سِرَاجٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي حُسَيْنٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَوْدِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَمَا كُنْتَ تَتْلُو مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مِنْ كِتَابٍ، وَلَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ} [العنكبوت: ٤٨] قَالَ: " لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ وَلَا يَكْتُبُ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you write it with your right hand." [Surah al-Ankabut: 48]: He (peace and blessings be upon him) neither read nor wrote.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّابَرَانِيُّ بِهَا، ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ الطُّوسِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الصَّائِغُ، ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ أُمِّيَّةٌ لَا نَكْتُبُ وَلَا نَحْسُبُ، وَالشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا، وَهَكَذَا وَقَبَضَ إِصْبَعَهُ وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا، يَعْنِي ثَلَاثِينَ " أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We are an unlettered people; we neither write nor do we know calculation. The month is like this, like this and like this," and (the third time) he (peace and blessings be upon him) folded one finger (meaning twenty-nine days), "and it is like this, like this and like this," meaning thirty days.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْخَثْعَمِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ، ثنا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ بْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَمِرَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُمْ لِيَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ، فَاشْتَرَطُوا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُقِيمَ بِهَا، إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ، وَلَا يَدْخُلَهَا إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ، وَلَا يَدْعُو مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ يَكْتُبُ الشَّرْطَ بَيْنَهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَتَبَ: هَذَا مَا قَاضَى ⦗٦٨⦘ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَقَالُوا: لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَمْ نَمْنَعْكَ وَلَبَايَعْنَاكَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَنَا وَاللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنَا وَاللهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ " قَالَ: وَكَانَ لَا يَكْتُبُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ: " امْحُ رَسُولَ اللهِ " قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: لَا وَاللهِ لَا أَمْحَاهُ أَبَدًا قَالَ: " فَأَرِنِيهِ " قَالَ: فَأَرَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَمَحَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ وَمَضَى الْأَجَلُ أَتَوْا عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالُوا: مُرْ صَاحِبَكَ فَلْيَرْتَحِلْ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ أَرْتَحِلُ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْأَوْدِيِّ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ بِمَعْنَاهُ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكِتَابَ وَلَيْسَ يُحْسِنُ يَكْتُبُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform Umrah, he sent word to the people of Makkah seeking their permission to enter Makkah. They stipulated to him that he would not stay there more than three nights, that he would enter only with weapons in their sheaths, and that he would not invite any of them (to go with him). Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) was writing the terms: This is what Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah, has agreed to. They said: If we knew that you (peace and blessings be upon him) were the Messenger of Allah, we would not have prevented you, and we would have pledged allegiance to you; write: Muhammad bin Abdullah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am Muhammad bin Abdullah, and by Allah, I am also Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know how to write. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Erase 'Messenger of Allah'." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will never erase it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Show it to me." So he showed it to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) erased it with his own hand.
When they had entered Makkah and the term had expired, they came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Tell your companion to leave. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Certainly, we will leave."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الْقَضِيَّةِ وَذَكَرَ فِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يَا عَلِيُّ، امْحُ رَسُولَ اللهِ " قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَمْحُوكَ أَبَدًا، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكِتَابَ وَلَيْسَ يُحْسِنُ يَكْتُبُ "، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " أَرِنِيهِ " فَأَرَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَمَحَاهُ بِيَدِهِ ".
Likewise; it contains only this addition, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ali! Erase 'Messenger of Allah'." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will never erase it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself took the document, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) could not write well.
وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الدِّمْيَاطِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْخَالِقِ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ثنا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، ثنا مُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَوْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: " مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى كَتَبَ وَقَرَأَ " قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلشَّعْبِيِّ فَقَالَ قَدْ صَدَقَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَذْكُرُونَ ذَلِكَ فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَفِي رُوَاتِهِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَالْمَجْهُولِينَ، وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.
Awn bin Abdullah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not die until he had written and read, that is, until he had learned.
This hadith is munqati' (its chain is broken), and among its narrators are a number of weak and unknown narrators. And Allah Almighty knows best.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ وَكِيلُ الْمُتَّقِي بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ هِلَالٍ النَّحْوِيُّ الضَّرِيرُ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: " مَا جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْتَ شِعْرٍ قَطُّ، إِلَّا بَيْتًا وَاحِدًا: ⦗٦٩⦘ تَفَاءَلْ بِمَا تَهْوَى يَكُنْ فَلَقَلَّمَا يُقَالُ لِشَيْءٍ كَانَ إِلَّا تَحَقَّقَ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: وَلَمْ يَقُلْ: تَحَقُّقَا؛ لِئَلَّا يُعْرِبَهُ، فَيَصِيرَ شِعْرًا " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْهُ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ يُجْهَلُ حَالُهُ، وَأَمَّا الرَّجَزُ فَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهُ.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never composed a single line of poetry except one line: "Take a good omen in what you desire and it will be; for seldom is it said of a thing 'it has happened' except that it comes true." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He did not say 'tahaqquqa', so as not to give it its (metrical) ending and so make it poetry.
The Shaykh (Imam al-Bayhaqi) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I have recorded it only with this chain, and among its narrators is one whose condition is unknown. As for rajaz, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once, on a cold morning, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to the Muhajirun and the Ansar, who were digging the trench. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, the true good is the good of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun." They replied: "We are those who have pledged to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that we will keep striving in jihad as long as we live."

Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the Trench; he (peace and blessings be upon him) was moving earth, and the dust was covering the hair of his (peace and blessings be upon him) chest, for he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a great deal of hair on his chest, and he was reciting the rajaz verses of Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him): 'Allahumma lawla anta mahtadayna
wa la tasaddaqna wa la sallayna
fa-anzilan sakinatan 'alayna
wa thabbitil-aqdama in laqayna
innal-a'da'a qad baghaw 'alayna
wa in aradu fitnatan abayna' "O Allah, were it not for You we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity or prayed.
So send down tranquillity upon us, and make our feet firm when we meet (the enemy).
The enemies have transgressed against us; if they seek to cause tribulation, we refuse."
He would recite them in a loud voice. [Sahih. Bukhari: 2873. Muslim: 1083]

Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was carrying earth with us on the day of al-Ahzab (the Confederates). Then he narrated the (preceding) hadith.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَارٍ فَنُكِبَتْ أُصْبُعُهُ، فَقَالَ: " هَلْ أَنْتِ إِلَّا أُصْبُعٌ دَمِيتِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مَا لَقِيتِ "، رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنِ الْأسْوَدِ.
Sayyiduna Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a cave, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) finger was injured. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
'Hal anti illa isba'un damiti, wa fi sabilillahi ma laqiti'
"What are you but a finger that has bled? And what you have met has been in the path of Allah."
'Hal anti illa isba'un damiti, wa fi sabilillahi ma laqiti'
"What are you but a finger that has bled? And what you have met has been in the path of Allah."
