What was revealed of the Qurʾān concerning the detachment of al-Rajīʿ
[ مَا نَزَلَ فِي سَرِيَّةِ الرَّجِيعِ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ] قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ مِمَّا نَزَلَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّرِيَّةِ، كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى لِآلِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَوْ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لَمَّا أُصِيبَتْ السَّرِيَّةُ الَّتِي كَانَ فِيهَا مَرْثَدٌ وَعَاصِمٌ بِالرَّجِيعِ، قَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ: يَا وَيْحَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمَفْتُونِينَ الَّذِينَ هَلَكُوا ( هَكَذَا )، لَا هُمْ قَعَدُوا فِي أَهْلِيهِمْ، وَلَا هُمْ أَدَّوْا رِسَالَةَ صَاحِبِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَمَا أَصَابَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرُ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ بِاَلَّذِي أَصَابَهُمْ، فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ: وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُعْجِبُكَ قَوْلُهُ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا أَيْ لِمَا يُظْهِرُ مِنْ الْإِسْلَامِ بِلِسَانِهِ، وَيُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَهُوَ مُخَالِفٌ لِمَا يَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ، وَهُوَ أَلَدُّ الْخِصَامِ أَيْ ذُو جِدَالٍ إذَا كَلَّمَكَ وَرَاجَعَكَ [ تَفْسِيرُ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ لِبَعْضِ الْغَرِيبِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْأَلَدُّ: الَّذِي يَشْغَبُ، فَتَشْتَدُّ خُصُومَتُهُ؛ وَجَمْعُهُ: لُدٌّ. وَفِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَتُنْذِرَ بِهِ قَوْمًا لُدًّا وَقَالَ الْمُهَلْهَلُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ التَّغْلِبِيُّ، وَاسْمُهُ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ؛ وَيُقَالُ: عَدِيُّ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ: إنَّ تَحْتَ الْأَحْجَارِ حَدًّا وَلِينَا وَخَصِيمًا أَلَدَّ ذَا مِعْلَاقِ وَيُرْوَى ذَا مِغْلَاقِ فِيمَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ. وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ؛ وَهُوَ الْأَلَنْدَدُ. قَالَ الطِّرِمَّاحُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الطَّائِيُّ يَصِفُ الْحِرْبَاءَ: يُوفِي عَلَى جِذْمِ الْجُذُولِ كَأَنَّهُ خَصْمٌ أَبَرَّ عَلَى الْخُصُومِ أَلَنْدَدِ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ
Translation
✧ [What was revealed in the Qurʾan concerning the detachment of al-Rajiʿ] He said: Ibn Isḥāq said: Among what was revealed of the Qurʾan concerning that detachment, as was related to me by a mawlā of the family of Zayd b. Thābit, from ʿIkrimah the mawlā of Ibn ʿAbbās, or from Saʿīd b. Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, was this. He said: Ibn ʿAbbās said: When the detachment in which were Marthad and ʿĀṣim was struck at al-Rajīʿ, some men among the hypocrites said: “Alas for these deluded ones who have perished thus! They neither stayed with their families, nor did they deliver the message of their companion.” So God Most High revealed concerning that statement of the hypocrites, and the good that befell those men by what struck them, for He, Glorified be He, said: “And among the people is he whose speech pleases you in the life of this world” — that is, because of the Islam he displays with his tongue — “and he calls God to witness over what is in his heart, while he is at variance with what he says with his tongue, and he is the most stubborn of adversaries” — that is, one given to dispute when he speaks to you and answers you back. [Ibn Hishām’s explanation of some rare words] Ibn Hishām said: al-aladd is the one who creates commotion so that his disputation becomes intense; its plural is ludd. In the Book of God, Mighty and Glorious is He: “and that you may warn thereby a people who are ludd.” Al-Muhalhil b. Rabīʿah al-Taghlibī, whose name is Imruʾ al-Qays — and it is said ʿAdī b. Rabīʿah — said: “Beneath the stones are a sharp edge and softness, and an obstinate adversary with a mʿlāq” — and it is recited “with a mighlāq” according to what Ibn Hishām said. This verse is in an ode of his; and he is al-alandad. Al-Ṭirimmāḥ b. Ḥakīm al-Ṭāʾī said, describing the chameleon: “He rises upon the stump of the dry trees as though he were an opponent who has overcome the opponents, most stubborn.” And this verse is in an ode of his.
