Sirat Ibn Hisham 1079
What was revealed of the Qurʾān concerning the detachment of al-Rajīʿ
وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يَهْجُو هُذَيْلًا: لَحَى اللَّهُ لِحْيَانًا فَلَيْسَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ لَنَا مِنْ قَتِيلَيْ غَدْرَةٍ بِوَفَاءِ هُمُو قَتَلُوا يَوْمَ الرَّجِيعِ ابْنَ حُرَّةٍ أَخَا ثِقَةٍ فِي وُدِّهِ وَصَفَاءِ فَلَوْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ الرَّجِيعِ بِأَسْرِهِمْ بِذِي الدَّبْرِ مَا كَانُوا لَهُ بِكِفَاءِ قَتِيلٌ حَمَتْهُ الدَّبْرُ بَيْنَ بُيُوتِهِمْ لَدَى أَهْلِ كُفْرٍ ظَاهِرٍ وَجَفَاءِ فَقَدْ قَتَلَتْ لِحْيَانُ أَكْرَمَ مِنْهُمْ وَبَاعُوا خُبَيْبًا وَيْلَهُمْ بِلَفَاءِ فَأُفٍّ لِلِحْيَانٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالَةٍ عَلَى ذِكْرِهِمْ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ عَفَاءِ قُبَيِّلةٌ بِاللُّؤْمِ وَالْغَدْرِ تَغْتَرِي فَلَمْ تُمْسِ يَخْفَى لُؤْمُهَا بِخَفَاءِ فَلَوْ قُتِلُوا لَمْ تُوفِ مِنْهُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ بَلَى إنَّ قَتْلَ الْقَاتِلِيهِ شِفَائِي فَالَّا أَمُتْ أَذْعَرُ هُذَيْلًا بِغَارَةٍ كَغَادِي الْجَهَامِ الْمُغْتَدِي بَافَاءِ بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَالْأَمْرُ أَمْرُهُ يَبِيتُ لِلِحْيَانَ الْخَنَا بِفَنَاءِ يُصَبِّحُ قَوْمًا بِالرَّجِيعِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جِدَاءُ شِتَاءٍ بِتْنَ غَيْرَ دِفَاءِ
Translation
✧ Ḥassān b. Thābit said, satirizing Hudhayl: May God curse Liḥyān, for their blood is not to us for the two treacherously slain, any fulfillment. It was they who slew on the day of al-Rajīʿ the son of a freewoman, a brother of trust in his affection and purity. Had they all been slain on the day of al-Rajīʿ at Dhū al-Dabr, they would not have been an equal for him. A slain man whom al-Dabr protected amid their houses in the presence of a people of open unbelief and harshness. Liḥyān slew one nobler than them, and they sold Khubayb—woe to them—for a paltry price. So fie upon Liḥyān in every condition; upon mentioning them in remembrance, may every effacement be. A little tribe that vaunts itself in baseness and treachery; its baseness has not become hidden by concealment. Had they been slain, their blood would not have fulfilled for him; indeed, the slaying of his slayers is my cure. If I do not die, I shall terrify Hudhayl with a raid like one who goes forth in the morning with rainclouds, setting out early. By command of the Messenger of God—and the command is his— he spends the night bringing disgrace to Liḥyān in the courtyard. He comes upon a people in the morning at al-Rajīʿ as though they were kids of winter that have spent the night without warmth.
