Sirat Ibn Hisham 1118
[ شِعْرٌ لِابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ أَوْ كَعْبٍ فِي بَدْرٍ ] وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فِي ذَلِكَ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَنْشَدَنِيهَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: وَعَدْنَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بَدْرًا فَلَمْ نَجِدْ لِمِيعَادِهِ صِدْقًا وَمَا كَانَ وَافِيَا فَأُقْسِمُ لَوْ وَافَيْتَنَا فَلَقِيتنَا لَأُبْتَ ذَمِيمًا وَافْتَقَدْتَ الْمَوَالِيَا تَرَكْنَا بِهِ أَوْصَالَ عُتْبَةَ وَابْنَهُ وَعَمْرًا أَبَا جَهْلٍ تَرَكْنَاهُ ثَاوِيَا عَصَيْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُفٍّ لِدِينِكُمْ وَأَمْرِكُمْ السَّيْءِ الَّذِي كَانَ غَاوِيَا فَإِنِّي وَإِنْ عَنَّفْتُمُونِي لَقَائِلٌ فِدًى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَهْلِي وَمَالِيَا أَطَعْنَاهُ لَمْ نَعْدِلْهُ فِينَا بِغَيْرِهِ شِهَابًا لَنَا فِي ظُلْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ هَادِيَا
Translation
✧ [Poetry by Ibn Rawāḥah or Kaʿb concerning Badr] He said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Rawāḥah said concerning that—Ibn Hishām said: Abū Zayd al-Anṣārī recited it to me as by Kaʿb b. Mālik: We promised Abū Sufyān a Badr, but we found no truth in his appointment, and he was not faithful. I swear, had you kept the appointment with us and met us, you would have returned blamed and lost the clients. We left there the severed limbs of ʿUtbah and his son, and ʿAmr, Abū Jahl—we left him lying low. You disobeyed the Messenger of God—fie upon your religion and your evil affair that was misguided. For I, even if you reproach me, will say: May my family and wealth be ransom for the Messenger of God. We obeyed him and did not consider anyone else among us equal to him— a blazing star for us in the darkness of night, a guide.
