Sirat Ibn Hisham 1190
The Messenger's glad tidings to the Muslims of the expedition against Quraysh
قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي يَوْمِ الْخَنْدَقِ: لَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْأَحْزَابُ حِينَ تَأَلَّبُوا عَلَيْنَا وَرَامُوا دِينَنَا مَا نُوَادِعُ أَضَامِيمُ مِنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَيْلَانَ أُصْفِقَتْ وَخِنْدِفُ لَمْ يَدْرُوا بِمَا هُوَ وَاقِعُ يَذُودُونَنَا عَنْ دِينِنَا وَنَذُودُهُمْ عَنْ الْكُفْرِ وَالرَّحْمَنُ رَاءٍ وَسَامِعُ إذَا غَايَظُونَا فِي مَقَامٍ أَعَانَنَا عَلَى غَيْظِهِمْ نَصْرٌ مِنْ اللَّهِ وَاسِعُ وَذَلِكَ حِفْظُ اللَّهِ فِينَا وَفَضْلُهُ عَلَيْنَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْفَظْ اللَّهُ ضَائِعُ هَدَانَا لِدِينِ الْحَقِّ وَاخْتَارَهُ لَنَا وَلِلَّهِ فَوْقَ الصَّانِعِينَ صَنَائِعُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَهَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ.
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: Kaʿb b. Mālik said concerning the Day of the Trench: The confederates knew, when they banded together against us and sought our religion, that we would not make peace— Bands from Qays b. ʿAylān were gathered, and Khindif—they did not know what would befall. They drive us away from our religion, and we drive them away from disbelief; the Merciful sees and hears. When they angered us in a station, help from God—ample—aided us against their anger. That is God’s keeping over us and His favor upon us; and whoever God does not keep is lost. He guided us to the religion of truth and chose it for us; and to God belong deeds above those of the doers. Ibn Hishām said: These verses are in a longer poem of his.
