Sirat Ibn Hisham 1098
The Messenger's going out to the Banū al-Naḍīr seeking their help with the bloodwit for the slain of the Banū ʿĀmir and their intention to betray him
[ مَا نَزَلَ فِي بَنِي النَّضِيرِ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ] وَنَزَلَ فِي بَنِي النَّضِيرِ سُورَةُ الْحَشْرِ بِأَسْرِهَا، يَذْكُرُ فِيهَا مَا أَصَابَهُمْ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ نِقْمَتِهِ. وَمَا سَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ، وَمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ فِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ تَعَالَى: هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ مَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مَانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَذَلِكَ لِهَدْمِهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ عَنْ نُجُفِ أَبْوَابِهِمْ إذَا احْتَمَلُوهَا. فَاعْتَبِرُوا يَا أُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ وَلَوْلَا أَنْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَلَاءَ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ اللَّهِ نِقْمَةٌ، لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَيْ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابُ النَّارِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ. مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا وَاللِّينَةُ: مَا خَالَفَ الْعَجْوَةَ مِنْ النَّخْلِ فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ أَيْ فَبِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ قُطِعَتْ، لَمْ يَكُنْ فَسَادًا، وَلَكِنْ كَانَ نِقْمَةً مِنْ اللَّهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ [ تَفْسِيرُ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ لِبَعْضِ الْغَرِيبِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: اللِّينَةُ: مِنْ الْأَلْوَانِ، وَهِيَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ بَرْنِيَّةَ وَلَا عَجْوَةً مِنْ النَّخْلِ، فِيمَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ. قَالَ ذُو الرُّمَّةِ: كَأَنَّ قُتُودِي فَوْقَهَا عُشُّ طَائِرٍ عَلَى لِينَةٍ سَوْقَاءَ تَهْفُو جُنُوبُهَا وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ
Translation
✧ [What was revealed in the Qurʾan concerning Banū al-Naḍīr] And concerning Banū al-Naḍīr the entire Sūrat al-Ḥashr was revealed, in which He mentions what God inflicted upon them by way of His vengeance, and the power He gave over them to His Messenger ﷺ, and what he did among them. God, exalted is He, said: “He it is who expelled those who disbelieved from among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from God; but God came upon them from where they did not expect, and cast terror into their hearts. They destroyed their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Therefore take heed, O you who have insight. And had it not been that God had decreed exile for them, He would have punished them in this world—that is, by the sword—and for them in the Hereafter is the punishment of the Fire along with that. Whatever palm trees you cut down, or left standing upon their roots—the līnah is what is other than the ʿajwah among the palm trees—it was by God’s permission, that is, by God’s command it was cut down; it was not an act of corruption, but rather it was vengeance from God, and to disgrace the transgressors.” [Ibn Hishām’s explanation of some unusual vocabulary] Ibn Hishām said: al-līnah is among the varieties, and it is what is neither barniyyah nor ʿajwah among the palm trees, according to what Abū ʿUbaydah related to us. Dhū al-Rummah said: “As if my saddle-frames upon her were a bird’s nest upon a lofty līnah palm whose southern branches sway.” This verse is from a poem of his.
