Shall I inform you, (O people,) upon whom the Shayatin [devils] de­scend? They descend upon every lying, sinful person. Who gives ear [to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the unseen from the angels], and most of them are liars. As for the poets — the erring follow them. Seest thou not that they speak about every subject in their poetry and that they say that which they do not? Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah much, and reply back [in poetry] to the unjust poetry [which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.

Surah “The Poets”.
