Surah 26:224
"And the poets – the ones who are in error follow them."
26.224 – And the poets – the ones who are in error follow them
On the negative sense of the word poets in the Quran, see the comment at 21.5. This passage characterizes poets as leading people astray and not practicing what they preach (v. 226). The word poets gives this sūra its name.
