Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from Algeria. He says that one of the writers claims that in the poem "Bānat Su'ād" by Ka'b ibn Zuhayr there are obscenities, absurdities, and bad manners toward the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). What is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
This is bad manners. As for Ka'b ibn Zuhayr, he was a noble Companion. He did not behave badly toward the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If he had behaved badly, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would have rebuked him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of his poem and gave him the cloak he was wearing as a reward. How can such a statement be made?
