And We did not teach him, that is, the Prophet, poetry -- this was [revealed] to refute their saying, `This Qur'n that he has brought is but poetry!' -- nor is it, poetry, seemly, [nor is it] facilitated, for him.

It was narrated that he never memorized a stanza of poetry with the correct meter or rhyme -- he would transpose words or memorize it incompletely.

In Ad-Dala'il, Al-Bayhaqi recorded that the Messenger of Allah said to Al-Abbas bin Mirdas As-Sulami, may Allah be pleased with him;

أَنْتَ الْقَايِلُ أَتَجْعَلُ نَهْبِي وَنَهْبَ الْعُبَيدِ بَيْنَ الاَْقْرَعِ وَعُيَيْنَة

This is because Allah taught him the Qur'an, which
لَاا يَأْتِيهِ الْبَاطِلُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَاا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ

تَنزِيلٌ مِّنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ
(Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it; sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise). (41;42)

This is not poetry, as some of the ignorant disbelievers of the Quraysh claimed; neither is it sorcery, a fabrication or a magic spell, as the misguided and ignorant people variously suggested. The Prophet was naturally disinclined to compose verse, and was forbidden to do so by Divine Law.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْانٌ مُّبِينٌ



This is only a Reminder and a plain Qur'an.
