Sirat Ibn Hisham 1091
[ شِعْرُ كَعْبٍ فِي يَوْمِ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ ] وَأَنْشَدَنِي لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فِي يَوْمِ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ، يُعَيِّرُ بَنِي جَعْفَرِ بْنِ كِلَابٍ: تَرَكْتُمْ جَارَكُمْ لِبَنِي سُلَيْمٍ مَخَافَةَ حَرْبِهِمْ عَجْزًا وَهُونَا فَلَوْ حَبْلًا تَنَاوَلَ مِنْ عُقَيْلٍ لَمَدَّ بِحَبْلِهَا حَبْلًا مَتِينَا أَوْ الْقُرَطُاءُ مَا إنْ أَسْلَمُوهُ وَقِدْمًا مَا وَفَوْا إذْ لَا تَفُونَا [ نَسَبُ الْقُرَطَاءِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْقُرَطَاءُ: قَبِيلَةٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ، وَيُرْوَى مِنْ نُفَيْلٍ مَكَانَ مِنْ عُقَيْلٍ، وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ؛ لِأَنَّ الْقُرَطَاءَ مِنْ نُفَيْلٍ قَرِيبٌ
Translation
✧ [Kaʿb's poem about the day of Biʾr Maʿūnah] He recited to me for Kaʿb b. Mālik about the day of Biʾr Maʿūnah, reproaching Banū Jaʿfar b. Kilāb: You left your neighbor to Banū Sulaym, fearing their war, out of weakness and dishonor. If a rope from ʿUqayl were within reach, he would stretch with its rope a strong rope, or al-Quraṭāʾ—they did not surrender him; and long ago they did not keep faith when you do not betray. [The lineage of al-Quraṭāʾ] Ibn Hishām said: Al-Quraṭāʾ is a tribe from Hawāzin. It is also narrated "from Nufayl" instead of "from ʿUqayl," and that is the correct version, because al-Quraṭāʾ is from Nufayl near.
