How do we reconcile the denial of poetry to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the verse, "And We did not teach him poetry," with his attributed saying during the Battle of Uhud: "I am the Prophet, no lie I am the son of Abdul Muttalib," which is poetry in the Al-Basit meter?

The questioner is alerted that the mentioned verse is from the Rajaz meter, not from the Basīt meter. Ibn Hajar answered the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "I am the Prophet, there is no lie, I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib," found in a Hadith in Bukhari, with several responses. Among them is that the Rajaz came out metrical but was not intended as poetry, and this is the most balanced answer. He also mentioned the possibility that the Rajaz was composed by someone else, and that Rajaz is not a category of poetry, and based on this, there is no contradiction with the Quranic verse.
