Ḥassān's poetry on Dhū Qarad
[ شِعْرٌ آخَرُ لِحَسَّانَ فِي يَوْمِ ذِي قَرَدٍ ] وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي يَوْمِ ذِي قَرَدٍ: أَظَنَّ عُيَيْنَةُ إذْ زَارَهَا بِأَنْ سَوْفَ يَهْدِمُ فِيهَا قُصُورًا فَأُكْذِبْتَ مَا كُنْتَ صَدَّقْتُهُ وَقُلْتُمْ سَنَغْنَمُ أَمْرًا كَبِيرًا فَعِفْتَ الْمَدِينَةَ إذْ زُرْتهَا وَآنَسْتُ لِلْأُسْدِ فِيهَا زَئِيرًا فَوَلَّوْا سِرَاعًا كَشَدِّ النَّعَامِ وَلَمْ يَكْشِفُوا عَنْ مُلِطٍّ حَصِيرًا أَمِيرٌ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ الْمَلِيكِ أَحْبِبْ بِذَاكَ إلَيْنَا أَمِيرًا رَسُولٌ نُصَدِّقُ مَا جَاءَهُ وَيَتْلُو كِتَابًا مُضِيئًا مُنِيرًا
Translation
✧ [Another poem by Ḥassān on the day of Dhū Qarad] Ḥassān b. Thābit said concerning the day of Dhū Qarad: Does ʿUyaynah suppose, when he visited it, that he would soon destroy palaces therein? You were made to disbelieve what you had made yourself believe, and you said, “We shall gain a mighty thing.” So you loathed al-Madīnah when you visited it, and you heard the roaring of lions within it. They turned in haste like the running of ostriches, and they did not uncover a shielded warrior. A commander over us is the Messenger of the King— how beloved to us is he as a commander! A messenger whom we believe in what he brought, and he recites a Book, radiant and luminous.
