LKK its verse number 224 that deals with poets. The background is Kuffar e Makkah used to call Prophet :saw2: Shayar and Quran his poetry. In this verse, it has been mentioned that the behavior of the prophet and his followers was distinguishable from the poets and their followers.

I just gone through the tafseer of this ayat from Modudi sahib’s tafseer. It is mentioned there that the Prophet didn’t remember any shair of the time, and if by chance he tried to quote any shair, he made ‘awwal aakhir’ and ‘aakhir awwal’. The particular reason for this that the Arab poetry at that time was based on themes like war and other useless topics, which were against the nature of Prophet :saw2:
