[ تَوْلِيَةُ عُمَرَ النُّعْمَانَ عَلَى مَيْسَانَ ثُمَّ عَزْلُهُ ] وَقَدْ كَانَ مَعَ عَدِيٍّ ابْنُهُ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، فَقَدِمَ النُّعْمَانُ مَعَ مَنْ قَدِمَ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ فَبَقِيَ حَتَّى كَانَتْ خِلَافَةُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَاسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى مَيْسَانَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْبَصْرَةِ. فَقَالَ أَبْيَاتًا مِنْ شِعْرٍ. وَهِيَ: أَلَا هَلْ أَتَى الْحَسْنَاءَ أَنَّ حَلِيلَهَا بِمَيْسَانَ يُسْقَى فِي زُجَاجٍ وَحَنْتَمِ إذَا شِئْتُ غَنَّتِني دَهَاقِينُ قَرْيَةٍ وَرَقَّاصَةٌ تَجْذُو عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْسِمِ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ نَدْمَانِي فَبِالْأَكْبَرِ اسْقِنِي وَلَا تَسْقِنِي بِالْأَصْغَرِ الْمُتَثَلِّمِ لَعَلَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَسُوءُهُ تَنَادُمُنَا فِي الجَوْسَقِ الْمُتَهَدِّمِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَتْ أَبْيَاتُهُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَاَللَّهِ، إنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيَسُوءنِي فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنِّي قَدْ عَزَلْتُهُ، وَعَزَلَهُ. فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ اعْتَذَرَ إلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا صَنَعْتُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا بَلَغَكَ أَنِّي قُلْتُهُ قَطُّ. وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً شَاعِرًا وَجَدْتُ فَضْلًا مِنْ قَوْلٍ، فَقُلْتُ فِيمَا تَقُولُ الشُّعَرَاءُ - فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: وَاَيْمُ اللَّهِ. لَا تَعْمَلُ لِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ مَا بَقِيتُ، وَقَدْ قُلْتَ مَا قُلْتَ. [ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ ] وَمِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ: سَلِيطُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ وَدِّ بْنِ نَصْرِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ حِسْلِ بْنِ عَامِرِ، وَهُوَ كَانَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى هَوْذَةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيِّ بِالْيَمَامَةِ. رَجُلٌ. [ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ ] وَمِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ غَنْمِ بْنِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَدَّادٍ؛ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ قَيْسِ بْنِ لَقِيطِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ ظَرْبِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ، وَعِيَاضُ بْنُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَدَّادٍ. ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ. فَجَمِيعُ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يَقْدَمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ، وَمَنْ قَدِمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ النَّجَاشِيُّ فِي السَّفِينَتَيْنِ، أَرْبَعَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ رَجُلًا
Translation
✧ [ʿUmar's appointment of al-Nuʿmān over Maysān, then his removal] With ʿAdī was his son al-Nuʿmān b. ʿAdī. Al-Nuʿmān arrived with those Muslims who arrived from the land of Abyssinia, and he remained until the caliphate of ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, who appointed him over Maysān in the land of al-Baṣrah. He recited some verses of poetry, which are: Alā hal atā al-ḥasnāʾa anna ḥalīlahā bi-Maysāna yusqā fī zujājin wa-ḥantami Idhā shiʾtu ghannatnī dahāqīnu qaryatin wa-raqqāṣatun tajdhū ʿalā kulli mansimi Fa-in kuntu nadmānī fa-bi-l-akbari sqinī wa-lā tasqinī bi-l-aṣghari l-mutathallami Laʿalla amīra l-muʾminīna yasūʾuhu tanādumunā fī l-jawsaqi l-mutahaddimi When his verses reached ʿUmar, he said: "Yes, by God, that does grieve me. Whoever meets him, let him inform him that I have removed him," and he removed him. When he came to him, he apologized to him, saying: "By God, O Commander of the Faithful, I never did any of what you heard I said. But I was a poet and found some eloquence in speech, so I said what poets say." ʿUmar said to him: "By God, you shall not work for me in any capacity as long as I live, and you have said what you said." [From Banū ʿĀmir] From Banū ʿĀmir b. Luʾayy b. Ghālib b. Fihr: Salīṭ b. ʿAmr b. ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Wadd b. Naṣr b. Mālik b. Ḥisl b. ʿĀmir, who was the messenger of the Messenger of God ﷺ to Hawdhah b. ʿAlī al-Ḥanafī in al-Yamāmah. One man. [From Banū al-Ḥārith] From Banū al-Ḥārith b. Fihr b. Mālik: ʿUthmān b. ʿAbd Ghanm b. Zuhayr b. Abī Shaddād; and Saʿd b. ʿAbd Qays b. Laqīṭ b. ʿĀmir b. Umayyah b. Ẓarb b. al-Ḥārith b. Fihr; and ʿIyāḍ b. Zuhayr b. Abī Shaddād. Three persons. So all who stayed behind from Badr and did not come to the Messenger of God ﷺ in Makkah, and those who came after that, and those whom the Negus did not carry in the two ships, were thirty-four men.
