Sirat Ibn Hisham 1178
What was revealed concerning the trench and Banū Qurayẓa
قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ أَيْ مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ نَصْرِهِ، وَالشَّهَادَةُ عَلَى مَا مَضَى عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ. يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا أَيْ مَا شَكُّوا وَمَا تَرَدَّدُوا فِي دِينِهِمْ، وَمَا اسْتَبْدَلُوا بِهِ غَيْرَهُ. لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِغَيْظِهِمْ أَيْ قُرَيْشًا وَغَطَفَانَ لَمْ يَنَالُوا خَيْرًا وَكَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا وَأَنْزَلَ الَّذِينَ ظَاهَرُوهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَيْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ مِنْ صَيَاصِيهِمْ وَالصَّيَاصِي: الْحُصُونُ وَالْآطَامُ الَّتِي كَانُوا فِيهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَالَ سُحَيْمٌ عَبْدُ بَنِي الْحِسْحَاسِ؛ وَبَنُو الْحِسْحَاسِ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ: وَأَصْبَحَتْ الثِّيرَانُ صَرْعَى وَأَصْبَحَتْ نِسَاءُ تَمِيمٍ يَبْتَدِرْنَ الصَّيَاصِيَا وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. وَالصَّيَاصِيُّ ( أَيْضًا ): الْقُرُونُ. قَالَ النَّابِغَةُ الْجَعْدِيُّ: وِسَادَةَ رَهْطِي حَتَّى بَقِيتُ فَرْدًا كَصَيْصِيَةِ الْأَعْضَبِ يَقُولُ: أَصَابَ الْمَوْتُ سَادَةَ رَهْطِي. وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. وَقَالَ أَبُو دَواُدَ الْإِيَادِيُّ: فَذَعَرْنَا سُحْمَ الصَّيَاصِي بِأَيْدِيهِنَّ نَضْحٌ مِنْ الْكُحَيْلِ وَقَارُ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. وَالصَّيَاصِي ( أَيْضًا ): الشَّوْكُ الَّذِي لِلنَّسَّاجِينَ، فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ. وَأَنْشَدَنِي لِدُرَيْدِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ الْجُشَمِىِّ، جُشَمُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ بَكْرِ بْنِ هَوَازِنَ نَظَرْتُ إلَيْهِ وَالرِّمَاحُ تَنُوشُهُ كَوَقْعِ الصَّيَاصِي فِي النَّسِيجِ الْمُمَدَّدِ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. وَالصَّيَاصِيُّ ( أَيْضًا ): الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي أَرْجُلِ الدِّيَكَةِ نَاتِئَةً كَأَنَّهَا الْقُرُونُ الصِّغَارُ، وَالصَّيَاصِي ( أَيْضًا ): الْأُصُولُ. أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ أَنَّ الْعَرَبَ تَقُولُ: جَذَّ اللَّهُ صِيصِيَتَهُ: أَيْ أَصْلَهُ.
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: And among them are those who wait, meaning for what God promised him of His help, and martyrdom upon what his companions had already passed away. God Almighty says: “And they did not change in the slightest” (33:23), meaning they did not doubt, nor did they waver in their religion, nor did they exchange it for another. “That God may reward the truthful for their truthfulness, and punish the hypocrites if He wills, or turn to them in mercy. Indeed God is Forgiving, Merciful” (33:24). “And God turned back those who disbelieved in their rage” (33:25), meaning Quraysh and Ghaṭafān, they did not obtain any good, “and God sufficed the believers in fighting, and God is Strong, Mighty” (33:25). “And He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Book” (33:26), meaning Banū Qurayẓah, “from their strongholds” (33:26), and al-ṣayāṣī are the fortresses and the towers in which they were. Ibn Hishām said: Suḥaym, the slave of Banū al-Ḥisḥās, said—and Banū al-Ḥisḥās are from Banū Asad b. Khuzaymah: And the bulls became thrown down, and the women of Tamīm began to race to the strongholds. This verse is in a poem of his. And al-ṣayāṣī (also) means horns. Al-Nābighah al-Jaʿdī said: I was the pillow of my clan until I remained alone, like the horn of the maimed one. He says: death struck the chiefs of my clan. This verse is in a poem of his. And Abū Dāwūd al-Iyādī said: We startled the black horns with hands upon which was a smear of kohl and tar. This verse is in a poem of his. And al-ṣayāṣī (also) means the thorns used by weavers, according to what Abū ʿUbaydah informed me. And he recited to me from Durayd b. al-Ṣimmah al-Jushamī—Jusham b. Muʿāwiyah b. Bakr b. Hawāzin: I looked at him while the spears were jabbing him, like the fall of the ṣayāṣī on the stretched woven cloth. This verse is in a poem of his. And al-ṣayāṣī (also) means the spurs that are on the legs of roosters, protruding as if they were small horns. And al-ṣayāṣī (also) means roots. Abū ʿUbaydah informed me that the Arabs say: “May God cut off his ṣīṣiyah,” meaning his root.
