May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it taken from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 1805a that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite poetry?
Answer:
He recited poetry. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite poetry. As for him composing it, no, or composing poetry, but he would recite verses by others, such as "I am the Prophet, no lie, I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib."
