Commentary and footnotes (2)
Note 1
(1) His statement: Are you but a finger that has bled, meaning the Prophet (ﷺ) said it naturally, without intending meter, as happens with many people. Poetry is intentionally metered and rhymed speech to distinguish it from what appears in the Qur’an or prophetic speech. As cited from Al-Mirqat.

(۱) قوله: فقال: هل أنت إلا إصبع دميت : أي قال النبي ﷺ اتفاقا على مقتضى الطبع السليم السليقي من غير قصد إلى وزنه كما يقع لكثير من الناس، والشعر كلام مقفى موزون قصدا؛ ليخرج ما وقع في القرآن أو كلام النبوة. التقطته من المرقاة».
