Ḥassān's poetry on Dhū Qarad
[ غَضَبُ سَعْدٍ عَلَى حَسَّانَ وَمُحَاوَلَةُ حَسَّانَ اسْتِرْضَاءَهُ في غزوة ذات قرد ]: قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: فَلَمَّا قَالَهَا حَسَّانُ غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمَهُ أَبَدًا؛ قَالَ: انْطَلَقَ إلَى خَيْلِي وَفَوَارِسِي فَجَعَلَهَا لِلْمِقْدَادِ فَاعْتَذَرَ إلَيْهِ حَسَّانُ وَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ مَا ذَاكَ أَرَدْتُ، وَلَكِنَّ الرَّوِيَّ وَافَقَ اسْمَ الْمِقْدَادِ؛ وَقَالَ أَبْيَاتًا يُرْضِي بِهَا سَعْدًا: إذَا أَرَدْتُمْ الْأَشَدَّ الْجَلْدَا أَوْ ذَا غَنَاءٍ فَعَلَيْكُمْ سَعْدًا سَعْدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ لَا يُهَدُّ هَدًّا فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُ سَعْدٌ وَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئًا
Translation
✧ [Saʿd’s anger with Ḥassān and Ḥassān’s attempt to appease him during the expedition of Dhū Qarad]: Ibn Hishām said: When Ḥassān said it, Saʿd b. Zayd became angry with him and swore that he would never speak to him again. He said: He went away to my horses and my horsemen and made them for al-Miqdād. Ḥassān apologized to him and said: By God, that was not what I intended, but the rhyme happened to fit the name of al-Miqdād. And he recited some verses with which to please Saʿd: If you want the strongest, the hardy one, or one of use, then upon you is Saʿd—Saʿd b. Zayd, who is not overcome. But Saʿd did not accept it from him, and it availed nothing.
