What was revealed concerning the trench and Banū Qurayẓa
[ تَفْسِيرُ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ لِبَعْضِ الْغَرِيبِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: سَلَقُوكُمْ بَالَغُوا فِيكُمْ بِالْكَلَامِ، فَأَحْرَقُوكُمْ وَآذَوْكُمْ. تَقُولُ الْعَرَبُ: خَطِيبٌ سَلَّاقٌ، وَخَطِيبٌ مُسْلِقٌ وَمِسْلَاقٌ. قَالَ أَعْشَى بَنِي قَيْسِ ابْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ: فِيهِمْ الْمَجْدُ وَالسَّمَاحَةُ وَالنَّجْ دَةُ فِيهِمْ وَالْخَاطِبُ السَّلَّاقُ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. يَحْسَبُونَ الْأَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوا قُرَيْشٌ وَغَطَفَانُ وَإِنْ يَأْتِ الْأَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوا لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ بَادُونَ فِي الْأَعْرَابِ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ أَنْبَائِكُمْ وَلَوْ كَانُوا فِيكُمْ مَا قَاتَلُوا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ أَيْ لِئَلَّا يَرْغَبُوا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَلَا عَنْ مَكَانٍ هُوَ بِهِ
Translation
✧ [Ibn Hishām’s commentary on some obscure words] Ibn Hishām said: salaqūkum means they went to extremes against you in speech, so they scorched you and harmed you. The Arabs say: khaṭībun sallāq, and khaṭībun musliq and mislāq (a vehement orator). Aʿshā Banī Qays b. Thaʿlabah said: In them is glory and liberality and courage, in them is the orator al-sallāq. And this verse is in a qasīdah of his. They reckon the confederates have not departed—Quraysh and Ghaṭafān—and if the confederates come, they wish that they were Bedouins among the desert Arabs, asking about your news; and if they had been among you, they would not have fought except a little. Then He turned to the believers and said: Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example, for him who hopes for Allah and the Last Day—that is, so that they should not prefer their own selves over his self, nor over the place where he was.
