Genealogy of Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Some Accounts of His Forefathers and Ancestors
يَوْمُ النِّسَارِ النِّسَارُ: أَجْبُلٌ مُتَجَاوِرَةٌ، وَعِنْدَهَا كَانَتِ الْوَقْعَةُ، وَهُوَ مَوْضِعٌ مَعْرُوفٌ عِنْدَهُمْ. وَكَانَ سَبَبُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَّ بَنِي تَمِيمِ بْنِ مُرِّ بْنِ أُدٍّ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ عُمُومَتَهُمْ ضَبَّةَ بْنَ أُدٍّ وَبَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَاةَ بْنِ أُدٍّ، فَأَصَابَتْ ضَبَّةُ رَهْطًا مِنْ تَمِيمٍ. فَطَلَبَتْهُمْ تَمِيمٌ فَانْزَاحَتْ جَمَاعَةُ الرِّبَابِ، وَهُمْ تَيْمٌ، وَعَدِيٌّ، وَثَوْرُ أَطْحَلَ، وَعُكْلٌ بَنُو عَبْدِ مَنَاةَ بْنِ أُدٍّ وَضَبَّةَ بْنِ أُدٍّ، وَإِنَّمَا سُمُّوا الرِّبَابَ لِأَنَّهُمْ غَمَسُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي الرُّبِّ حِينَ تَحَالَفُوا، فَلَحِقَتْ بِبَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ حُلَفَاءٌ لِبَنِي ذُبْيَانَ بْنِ بَغِيضٍ. فَنَادَى صَارِخُ بْنُ ضَبَّةَ: يَا آلَ خِنْدِفٍ ! فَأَصْرَخَتْهُمْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ، وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ تَخَنْدَفَتْ فِيهِ ضَبَّةُ وَاسْتَمَدُّوا حَلِيفَهُمْ طَيِّئًا وَغَطَفَانَ، فَكَانَ رَئِيسَ أَسَدٍ يَوْمَ النِّسَارِ عَوْفُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ جَذِيمَةَ بْنِ نَصْرِ بْنِ قَعِينٍ، وَقِيلَ: خَالِدُ بْنُ نَضْلَةَ، وَكَانَ رَئِيسَ الرِّبَابِ الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ أَخُو النُّعْمَانِ، وَلَيْسَ بِصَحِيحٍ، وَكَانَ عَلَى الْجَمَاعَةِ كُلِّهِمْ حِصْنُ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ، وَفِيهِ يَقُولُ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلْمَى: وَمَنْ مِثْلُ حِصْنٍ فِي الْحُرُوبِ وَمِثْلُهُ لِإِنْدَادِ ضَيْمٍ أَوْ لِأَمْرٍ يُحَاوِلُهْ إِذَا حَلَّ أَحْيَاءُ الْأَحَالِيفِ حَوْلَهُ بِذِي نَجَبٍ لَجَّاتُهُ وَصَوَاهِلُهْ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ ذَلِكَ اسْتَمَدُّوا بَنِي عَامِرٍ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ، فَأَمَدُّوهُمْ. وَكَانَ حَاجِبُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ عَلَى بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، وَكَانَ عَامِرُ بْنُ صَعْصَعَةَ جَوَّابًا، وَهُوَ لَقَبُ مَالِكِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ كِلَابٍ، لِأَنَّ بَنِي جَعْفَرٍ كَانَ جَوَّابُ قَدْ أَخْرَجَهُمْ إِلَى بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَحَالَفُوهُمْ، وَقِيلَ: كَانَ رَئِيسَ عَامِرٍ شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ. وَسَارَ الْجَمْعَانِ فَالْتَقَوْا بِالنِّسَارِ وَاقْتَتَلُوا، فَصَبَرَتْ عَامِرٌ وَاسْتَحَرَّ بِهِمُ الْقَتْلُ، وَانْفَضَّتْ تَمِيمٌ فَنَجَتْ وَلَمْ يُصَبْ مِنْهُمْ كَثِيرٌ، وَقُتِلَ شُرَيْحٌ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ رَأْسُ بَنِي عَامِرٍ، وَقُتِلَ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِلَابٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا، وَأَخَذَ عِدَّةً مِنْ أَشْرَافِ نِسَاءِ بَنِي عَامِرٍ، مِنْهُنَّ سَلْمَى بِنْتُ الْمُخَلَّفِ، وَالْعَنْقَاءُ بِنْتُ هَمَّامٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا، فَقَالَتْ سَلْمَى تُعَيِّرُ جَوَّابًا وَالطُّفَيْلَ: لَحَى الْإِلَهُ أَبَا لَيْلَى بِفَرَّتِهِ يَوْمَ النِّسَارِ وَقُنْبُ الْعِيرِ جَوَّابَا كَيْفَ الْفَخَارُ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ بِمُعْتَرَكٍ يَوْمَ النِّسَارِ بَنُو ذُبْيَانَ أَرْبَابَا لَمْ تَمْنَعُوا الْقَوْمَ إِنْ أَشْلَوْا سَوَامَكُمُ وَلَا النِّسَاءَ وَكَانَ الْقَوْمُ أَحْرَابَا وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يُعَيِّرُ جَوَّابًا وَالطُّفَيْلَ بِفِرَارِهِ عَنِ امْرَأَتَيْهِ: وَفَّرَ عَنْ ضَرَّتَيْهِ وَجْهُ خَارِئَةٍ وَمَالِكٌ فَرَّ قُنْبُ الْعِيرِ جَوَّابُ وَالْقُنْبُ: غِلَافُ الذَّكَرِ، وَجَوَّابٌ لَقَبٌ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَجُوبُ الْآثَارَ، وَاسْمُهُ مَالِكٌ. وَقَالَ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَبِي خَازِمٍ فِي هَزِيمَةِ حَاجِبٍ: وَأَفْلَتَ حَاجِبٌ جَوْبَ الْعَوَالِي عَلَى شَقْرَاءَ تَلْمَعُ فِي السَّرَابِ وَلَوْ أَدْرَكْنَ رَأْسَ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ عَفَرْنَ الْوَجْهَ مِنْهُ بِالتُّرَابِ وَكَانَ يَوْمُ النِّسَارِ بَعْدَ يَوْمِ جَبَلَةَ وَقَتْلِ لَقِيطِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ. ( جَوَّابٌ: بِفَتْحِ الْجِيمِ، وَتَشْدِيدِ الْوَاوِ، وَآخِرُهُ بَاءٌ مُوَحَّدَةٌ، وَخَازِمٌ بِالْخَاءِ الْمُعْجَمَةِ، وَالزَّايِ ).
Translation
✧ The Day of al-Nisār Al-Nisār: adjacent mountains, and at them the battle took place, and it is a place well known to them. The reason for that day was that Banū Tamīm b. Murr b. Udd used to raid their paternal uncles Ḍabbah b. Udd and Banū ʿAbd Manāh b. Udd, and Ḍabbah seized a group of Tamīm. Then Tamīm sought them, and the group of al-Ribāb withdrew—they are Taym, ʿAdī, Thawr Aṭḥal, and ʿUkl, the Banū ʿAbd Manāh b. Udd and Ḍabbah b. Udd. They were called al-Ribāb only because they dipped their hands in juice (al-rubb) when they formed an alliance. They joined Banū Asad, and at that time they were allies of Banū Dhubyān b. Baghīḍ. Then a crier of Ḍabbah called out: “O people of Khindif!” and Banū Asad answered them. It was the first day on which Ḍabbah became Khindifī, and they sought reinforcement from their allies Ṭayyiʾ and Ghaṭafān. The chief of Asad on the Day of al-Nisār was ʿAwf b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir b. Jadhīmah b. Naṣr b. Qaʿīn, and it is said: Khālid b. Naḍlah. The chief of al-Ribāb was al-Aswad b. al-Mundhir, brother of al-Nuʿmān, but this is not sound. Over the whole group was Ḥiṣn b. Ḥudhayfah b. Badr, and about him Zuhayr b. Abī Sulmā says: And who is like Ḥiṣn in wars, and like him for repelling wrong or for a matter he undertakes? When the clans of the confederates encamp around him at Dhū Najab, with its clamor and neighing. When that reached Banū Tamīm, they sought reinforcement from Banū ʿĀmir b. Ṣaʿṣaʿah, and they reinforced them. Ḥājib b. Zurārah was over Banū Tamīm, and over ʿĀmir b. Ṣaʿṣaʿah was Jawwāb, which is the nickname of Mālik b. Kaʿb of the Banū Abī Bakr b. Kilāb, because Banū Jaʿfar—Jawwāb had expelled them to Banū al-Ḥārith b. Kaʿb, and they became their allies. It is said: the chief of ʿĀmir was Shurayḥ b. Mālik al-Qushayrī. The two hosts marched and met at al-Nisār and fought. ʿĀmir stood firm, and slaughter consumed them; Tamīm scattered and escaped, and not many of them were struck. Shurayḥ al-Qushayrī, the head of Banū ʿĀmir, was killed, and ʿUbayd b. Muʿāwiyah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Kilāb and others besides them were killed. A number of noble women of Banū ʿĀmir were taken captive, among them Salmā bt. al-Mukhallaf and al-ʿAnqāʾ bt. Hammām and others besides them. Salmā said, taunting Jawwāb and al-Ṭufayl: May God curse Abā Laylā for his flight on the Day of al-Nisār, and the sheath of the stallion’s penis belongs to Jawwāb. How can there be boasting when at the battlefield on the Day of al-Nisār Banū Dhubyān were lords? You did not protect the people when they drove off your cattle, nor the women, while the people were raiders. And a man said, taunting Jawwāb and al-Ṭufayl for his flight from his two wives: He shielded the face of a defecating woman from his two co-wives, and Mālik fled—the sheath of the stallion’s penis is Jawwāb. Al-qunb is the sheath of the penis. Jawwāb is a nickname because he used to trace tracks, and his name is Mālik. Bishr b. Abī Khāzim said about the defeat of Ḥājib: Ḥājib escaped the thrusts of the spearheads on a sorrel mare that gleamed in the mirage. Had they caught the head of Banū Tamīm, they would have rubbed his face in the dust. The Day of al-Nisār was after the Day of Jabalah and the killing of Laqīṭ b. Zurārah. (Jawwāb: with fatḥah on the jīm, shaddah on the wāw, and ending with a univalent bāʾ; Khāzim: with dotted khāʾ and zāy).
