Sirat Ibn Hisham 1140
The crossing of the trench by a group of the polytheists
[ عُبُورُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ الْخَنْدَقَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ، وَعَدُوُّهُمْ مُحَاصِرُوهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمْ قِتَالٌ، إلَّا أَنَّ فَوَارِسَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، مِنْهُمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ وُدِّ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، أَخُو بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَعِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ أَبِي جَهْلٍ، وَهُبَيْرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَهْبٍ الْمَخْزُومِيَّانِ، وَضِرَارُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ الشَّاعِرُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ، أَخُو بَنِي مُحَارِبِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ، تَلَبَّسُوا لِلْقِتَالِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا عَلَى خَيْلِهِمْ، حَتَّى مَرُّوا بِمَنَازِلِ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ، فَقَالُوا: تَهَيَّئُوا يَا بَنِي كِنَانَةَ لِلْحَرْبِ، فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ الْفُرْسَانُ الْيَوْمَ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلُوا تُعْنِقُ بِهِمْ خَيْلُهُمْ، حَتَّى وَقَفُوا عَلَى الْخَنْدَقِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالُوا: وَاَللَّهِ إنَّ هَذِهِ لَمَكِيدَةٌ مَا كَانَتْ الْعَرَبُ تَكِيدُهَا
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ and the Muslims remained, with their enemy besieging them, and there was no fighting between them, except that horsemen from Quraysh—among them ʿAmr b. ʿAbd Wudd b. Abī Qays, brother of the Banū ʿĀmir b. Luʾayy (Ibn Hishām said: It is also said ʿAmr b. ʿAbd b. Abī Qays); Ibn Isḥāq said: and ʿIkrimah b. Abī Jahl and Hubayrah b. Abī Wahb, the two Makhzūmīs, and Ḍirār b. al-Khaṭṭāb the poet, son of Mirdās, brother of the Banū Muḥārib b. Fihr—armed themselves for battle. Then they went out on their horses until they passed by the dwellings of the Banū Kinānah, and they said: "Prepare, O Banū Kinānah, for war, and you will know today who the horsemen are." Then they came on, their horses speeding, until they stopped at the trench. When they saw it, they said: "By God, this is a stratagem the Arabs have never contrived."
