Sura 26
Aya 227
227
إِلَّا الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثيرًا وَانتَصَروا مِن بَعدِ ما ظُلِموا ۗ وَسَيَعلَمُ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبونَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Except for those (poets) who believe and do pious deeds persistently and remember Allah abundantly (i.e. they eulogize Allah and the Holy Prophet [blessings and peace be upon him] in their poetry), and avenge themselves after they are wronged (by means of poetic compositions, and defend Islam and the oppressed rather inspire them with zeal through their poetry. This type of poetry is not condemnable.) And those who do wrong will soon come to know to what place of turning they shall turn back (after death).
