Sirat Ibn Hisham 1072
What was revealed of the Qurʾān concerning the detachment of al-Rajīʿ
قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَيْضًا يَبْكِي خُبَيْبًا: يَا عَيْنُ جُودِي بِدَمْعٍ مِنْكِ مُنْسَكِبٍ وَابْكِي خُبَيْبًا مَعَ الْفِتْيَانِ لَمْ يَؤُبْ صَقْرًا تَوَسَّطَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ مَنْصِبُهُ سَمْحَ السَّجِيَّةَ مَحْضًا غَيْرَ مُؤْتَشِبِ قَدْ هَاجَ عَيْنِي عَلَى عِلَّاتِ عَبْرَتِهَا إذْ قِيلَ نُصَّ إلَى جِذْعٍ مِنْ الْخَشْبِ يَأَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُ الْغَادِي لِطَيَّتِهِ أَبْلِغْ لَدَيْكَ وَعِيدًا لَيْسَ بِالْكَذِبِ بَنِي كُهَيْبَةَ أَنَّ الْحَرْبَ قَدْ لَقِحَتْ مَحْلُوبُهَا الصَّابُ إذْ تُمْرَى لَمُحْتَلِبِ فِيهَا أُسُودُ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ تَقْدُمُهُمْ شُهْبُ الْأَسِنَّةِ فِي مُعْصَوْصَبٍ لَجِبِ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَهَذِهِ الْقَصِيدَةُ مِثْلُ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا، وَبَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالشِّعْرِ يُنْكِرُهُمَا لِحَسَّانٍ، وَقَدْ تَرَكْنَا أَشْيَاءَ قَالَهَا حَسَّانٌ فِي أَمْرِ خُبَيْبٍ لِمَا ذَكَرْتُ.
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥassān b. Thābit also said, weeping for Khubayb: O eye, be generous with flowing tears of yours, and weep for Khubayb along with the youths who did not return. A falcon whose standing was central among the Anṣār, generous of nature, pure, untainted. My eye has been stirred, with all the causes of its weeping, when it was said: he was raised up to a wooden trunk. O rider setting out in the morning on his journey, convey from me a threat that is no lie: O Banū Kuhaybah, war has conceived, and its milk is colocynth when the udders are drawn. In it are the lions of Banū al-Najjār, preceded by gleaming spear-points in a banded, clamorous host. Ibn Hishām said: This ode is like the one before it, and some of the people of knowledge in poetry reject both of them as being by Ḥassān. We have omitted things Ḥassān said concerning the affair of Khubayb for the reason I have mentioned.
