Sirat Ibn Hisham 1078
What was revealed of the Qurʾān concerning the detachment of al-Rajīʿ
وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَيْضًا يَهْجُو هُذَيْلًا: لَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ شَانَتْ هُذَيْلَ بْنَ مُدْرِكٍ أَحَادِيثُ كَانَتْ فِي خُبَيْبٍ وَعَاصِمِ أَحَادِيثُ لِحْيَانٍ صَلَوْا بِقَبِيحِهَا وَلِحْيَانُ جَرَّامُونَ شَرَّ الْجَرَائِمِ أُنَاسٌ هُمْ مِنْ قَوْمِهِمْ فِي صَمِيمِهِمْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الزَّمْعَانِ دُبْرَ الْقَوَادِمِ هُمْ غَدَرُوا يَوْمَ الرَّجِيعِ وَأَسْلَمَتْ أَمَانَتُهُمْ ذَا عِفَّةٍ وَمَكَارِمِ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ غَدْرًا وَلَمْ تَكُنْ هُذَيْلٌ تَوَقَّى مُنْكَرَاتِ الْمَحَارِمِ فَسَوْفَ يَرَوْنَ النَّصْرَ يَوْمًا عَلَيْهِمْ بِقَتْلِ الَّذِي تَحْمِيهِ دُونَ الْحَرَائِمِ أَبَابِيلُ دَبْرٍ شُمَّسٍ دُونَ لَحْمِهِ حَمَتْ لَحْمَ شَهَّادٍ عِظَامَ الْمَلَاحِمِ لَعَلَّ هُذَيْلًا أَنْ يَرَوْا بِمَصَابِّهِ مَصَارِعَ قَتْلَى أَوْ مَقَامًا لِمَأْتَمِ وَنُوقِعَ فِيهِمْ وَقْعَةً ذَاتَ صَوْلَةٍ يُوَافِي بِهَا الرُّكْبَانُ أَهْلَ الْمَوَاسِمِ بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إنَّ رَسُولَهُ رَأَى رَأْيَ ذِي حَزْمٍ بِلِحْيَانَ عَالِمِ قُبَيِّلةٌ لَيْسَ الْوَفَاءُ يُهِمُّهُمْ وَإِنْ ظُلِمُوا لَمْ يَدْفَعُوا كَفَّ ظَالِمِ إذَا النَّاسُ حَلُّوا بِالْفَضَاءِ رَأَيْتهمْ بِمَجْرَى مَسِيلِ الْمَاءِ بَيْنَ الْمَخَارِمِ مَحَلُّهُمْ دَارُ الْبَوَارِ وَرَأْيُهُمْ إذَا نَابَهُمْ أَمْرٌ كَرَأْيِ الْبَهَائِمِ
Translation
✧ Ḥassān b. Thābit also said, satirizing Hudhayl: By my life, Hudhayl b. Mudrik has been disgraced by reports that were about Khubayb and ʿĀṣim — reports of Liḥyān: they prayed with its foulness, and Liḥyān are committers of the worst of crimes. They are people who, from their own folk in their very core, are in the position of the zamʿān at the back of the leading feathers. They betrayed on the day of al-Rajīʿ, and their trust surrendered one of chastity and noble qualities — the messenger of the Messenger of God, treacherously; and Hudhayl did not guard against the abominations of forbidden things. They shall one day see victory against them for the killing of the one he protects despite the forbidden acts: swarms of stinging bees, fierce, around his flesh — they protected the flesh of a martyr of great battles. Perhaps Hudhayl will see, at its pouring forth, the places where slain men are thrown down, or a standing for mourning. And that a charge of assault may be brought down upon them, which the riders will convey to the people of the pilgrim fairs, by the command of the Messenger of God. Indeed, his messenger saw the opinion of one firm of resolve concerning Liḥyān, one knowing. A small tribe whom faithfulness does not concern; and if they are wronged, they do not ward off the palm of a wrongdoer. When people alight in the open space, you see them at the course of the water’s flow between the mountain passes. Their dwelling place is the abode of perdition, and their opinion, when some matter befalls them, is like the opinion of beasts.
