The Messenger's reconciliation with the people of Khaybar
[ شِعْرُ ابْنِ لُقَيْمٍ فِي فَتْحِ خَيْبَرَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي، قَدْ أَعْطَى ابْنَ لُقَيْمٍ الْعَبْسِيَّ، حِينَ افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ، مَا بِهَا مِنْ دَجَاجَةٍ أَوْ دَاجِنٍ، وَكَانَ فَتْحُ خَيْبَرَ فِي صَفَرٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ لُقَيْمٍ الْعَبْسِيُّ فِي خَيْبَرَ: رُمِيَتْ نَطَاةٌ مِنْ الرَّسُولِ بِفَيْلَقٍ شَهْبَاءَ ذَاتِ مَنَاكِبَ وَفَقَارِ وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْ بِالذُّلِّ لَمَا شُيِّعَتْ وَرِجَالُ أَسْلَمَ وَسْطَهَا وَغِفَارِ صَبَّحَتْ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ زُرْعَةَ غُدْوَةً وَالشَّقُّ أَظْلَمَ أَهْلُهُ بِنَهَارِ جَرَّتْ بِأَبْطَحِهَا الذُّيُولُ فَلَمْ تَدَعْ إلَّا الدَّجَاجَ تَصِيحُ فِي الْأَسْحَارِ وَلِكُلِّ حِصْنٍ شَاغِلٌ مِنْ خَيْلِهِمْ مِنْ عَبْدِ أَشْهَلَ أَوْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ وَمُهَاجِرِينَ قَدْ اعْلَمُوا سِيمَاهُمْ فَوْقَ الْمَغَافِرِ لَمْ يَنُوا لِفِرَارِ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَيَغْلِبَنَّ مُحَمَّدٌ وَلَيَثْوِيَنَّ بِهَا إلَى أَصْفَارِ فَرَّتْ يَهُودٌ يَوْمَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْوَغَى تَحْتَ الْعَجَاجِ غَمَائِمَ الْأَبْصَارِ [ تَفْسِيرُ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ لِبَعْضِ الْغَرِيبِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ فَرَّتْ: كَشَفَتْ، كَمَا تُفَرُّ الدَّابَّةُ بِالْكَشَفِ عَنْ أَسْنَانِهَا؛ يُرِيدُ كَشَفَتْ عَنْ جُفُونِ الْعُيُونِ غَمَائِمَ الْأَبْصَارِ، يُرِيدُ الْأَنْصَارَ
Translation
✧ [The poetry of Ibn Luqaym on the conquest of Khaybar] Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ, as I have been told, had given Ibn Luqaym al-ʿAbsī, when he conquered Khaybar, whatever it contained of chickens or domestic fowl. The conquest of Khaybar was in Ṣafar, so Ibn Luqaym al-ʿAbsī said about Khaybar: Naṭāh was shot at from the Messenger with a gleaming, grey host, possessing shoulders and vertebrae. And it became certain of humiliation when it was spread about, while the men of Aslam and Ghifār were in its midst. It came upon Banū ʿAmr b. Zurʿah in the morning, while al-Shaqq's people were darkest in daylight. It dragged its trains through its valley and left nothing but chickens crying out in the pre-dawn hours. And for every fort there was an occupier from their horsemen, from ʿAbd al-Ashhal or Banū al-Najjār. And Emigrants who had marked their signs above their helmets, and did not flag in fleeing. And I knew that Muḥammad would surely prevail, and would surely settle there until the yellow months. The Jews fled on that day in the battle, under the dust, the veils of the eyes. [Ibn Hishām's explanation of some obscure words] Ibn Hishām said: "farrat" means "uncovered," as a beast is said to "farra" when it bares its teeth; he means they uncovered the veils of the eyes, meaning the veils of sight, that is, the helpers (al-anṣār).
