The ruling on the Burdah poem by al-Busiri

The questioner:
A questioner says: Some students of knowledge say that the Burdah of al-Busiri was recited by the Salaf and that it has correct meanings.

The Shaykh:
This is not good speech; this is false speech. The Burdah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), shirk with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), explicit shirk. No one defends it except one who is either ignorant or misguided, affirming falsehood and shirk, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.

The questioner:
And in his question he asks: Is there any benefit from it in terms of eloquence and language?

The Shaykh:
There is no benefit from it. It is false, with no eloquence and no language. If you want eloquence and language, go to the authentic poems, the seven Mu'allaqat, the poetry of the poets of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) who had eloquence, rhetoric, and language. As for this, it is neither eloquent nor rhetorical, nor is it miraculous. He said: This poem is with shirk, bid'ah (religious innovation), and exaggeration, may Allah protect us from that. So it has no value and it must be destroyed. Yes.
