Commentary on 36:69
ثم رد - سبحانه - على الكافرين الذين وصفوا النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم بأنه شاعر ، كما قالوا عن القرآن أنه شعر ، فقال - تعالى - :( وَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ الشعر وَمَا . . . ) .أى : وما عَلَّمْنا الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وإنما الذى علمناه إياه هو القرآن الكريم ، المشتملع لى ما يسعد الناس فى دنياهم وفى آخرتهم .فالمقصود من هذه الجملة الكريمة ، نفى أن يكون القرآن شعرا بأبلغ وجه لأن الذى علمه الله - تعالى - لنبيه هو القرآن وليس الشعر ، وما دام الأمر كذلك فالقرآن ليس شعراً .وقوله - تعالى - : ( وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُ ) أى : ما علمناه الشعر ، وإنما علمناه القرآن ، فقد اقتضت حكمتنا أن لا نجعل الشعر فى طبعه صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا فى سليقته ، فحتى لو حاوله - على سبيل الفرض - فإنه لا يتأتى له ، ولا يسهل عليه ولا يستقيم مع فطرته صلى الله عليه وسلم .والضمير فى قوله - تعالى - : ( إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ وَقُرْآنٌ مُّبِينٌ ) يعود إلى القرآن الكريم :أى : ما هذا القرآن الكريم إلا ذكر من الأذكار النافعة ، والمواعظ الناجحة ، والتوجيهات الحكيمة ، وهو فى الوقت نفسه ( وَقُرْآنٌ مُّبِينٌ ) أى : كتاب مقروء من الكتب السماوية الواضحة ، التى لا تختلط ولا تلتبس بكلام البشر .
