The fighting between Bakr and Khuzāʿa
[ شِعْرُ حَسَّانَ فِي الْحَرْبِ بَيْنَ كِنَانَةَ وَخُزَاعَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي ذَلِكَ: لَحَا اللَّهُ قَوْمًا لَمْ نَدَعْ مِنْ سَرَاتِهِمْ لَهُمْ أَحَدًا يَنْدُوهُمُ غَيْرَ نَاقِبْ أَخُصْيَيْ حِمَارٍ مَاتَ بِالْأَمْسِ نَوْفَلًا مَتَى كُنْتَ مِفْلَاحًا عَدُوَّ الْحَقَائِبِ [ شِعْرُ عَمْرٍو الْخُزَاعِيِّ لِلرَّسُولِ يَسْتَنْصِرُهُ وَرَدُّهُ عَلَيْهِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا تَظَاهَرَتْ بَنُو بَكْرٍ وَقُرَيْشٌ عَلَى خُزَاعَةَ، وَأَصَابُوا مِنْهُمْ مَا أَصَابُوا، وَنَقَضُوا مَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ الْعَهْدِ وَالْمِيثَاقِ بِمَا اسْتَحَلُّوا مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ، وَكَانَ فِي عَقْدِهِ وَعَهْدِهِ، خَرَجَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِي كَعْبٍ، حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا هَاجَ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ إنِّي نَاشِدٌ مُحَمَّدًا حِلْفَ أَبِينَا وَأَبِيهِ الْأَتْلَدَا قَدْ كُنْتُمْ وُلْدًا وَكُنَّا وَالِدَا ثُمَّتَ أَسْلَمْنَا فَلَمْ نَنْزِعْ يَدَا فَانْصُرْ هَدَاكَ اللَّهُ نَصْرًا أَعْتَدَا وَادْعُ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ يَأْتُوا مَدَدَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَدْ تَجَرَّدَا إنْ سِيمَ خَسْفًا وَجْهُهُ تَرَبَّدَا فِي فَيْلَقٍ كَالْبَحْرِ يَجْرِي مُزْبِدًا إنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَخْلَفُوكَ الْمَوْعِدَا وَنَقَضُوا مِيثَاقَكَ الْمُوَكَّدَا وَجَعَلُوا لِي فِي كَدَاءٍ رُصَّدَا وَزَعَمُوا أَنْ لَسْتُ أَدْعُو أَحَدَا وَهُمْ أَذَلُّ وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدَا هُمْ بَيَّتُونَا بِالْوَتِيرِ هُجَّدًا وَقَتَلُونَا رُكَّعًا وَسُجَّدَا ( يَقُولُ: قُتِلْنَا وَقَدْ أَسْلَمْنَا ). قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُرْوَى أَيْضًا: فَانْصُرْ هَدَاكَ اللَّهُ نَصْرًا أَيِّدَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُرْوَى أَيْضًا: نَحْنُ وَلَدْنَاكَ فَكُنْتُ وَلَدًا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: نُصِرْتَ يَا عَمْرَو بْنُ سَالِمٍ. ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنَانٌ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ، فَقَالَ: إنَّ هَذِهِ السَّحَابَةَ لَتَسْتَهِلُّ بِنَصْرِ بَنِي كَعْبٍ
Translation
✧ [THE POETRY OF ḤASSĀN REGARDING THE WAR BETWEEN KINĀNAH AND KHUZĀʿAH] Ibn Hishām said: And Ḥassān b. Thābit said regarding that: May God curse a people from whose chiefs we left none— for them no one to lament them except a pricker The testicles of a donkey that died yesterday—Nawfal, were you ever a successful opener of enemies' saddlebags? [THE POETRY OF ʿAMR AL-KHUZĀʿĪ TO THE MESSENGER SEEKING HIS HELP, AND HIS RESPONSE TO HIM] Ibn Isḥāq said: When Banū Bakr and Quraysh allied together against Khuzāʿah, and afflicted them with what they afflicted, and broke what was between them and the Messenger of God ﷺ of the covenant and compact, by what they deemed lawful against Khuzāʿah who was in his bond and covenant, ʿAmr b. Sālim al-Khuzāʿī, then one of Banū Kaʿb, went out until he came to the Messenger of God ﷺ in Madinah. That was among the things that stirred the conquest of Makkah. He stood before him while he was sitting in the mosque among the people and said: O Lord, I am invoking Muḥammad by the ancient compact of our father and his father. You were a child and we were a parent, then we submitted and did not withdraw our hand. So grant victory—may God guide you—a ready, prepared victory, and call the servants of God; let them come as reinforcements. Among them is the Messenger of God, who has girded himself; if he is threatened with humiliation, his face darkens. In a legion like the sea, flowing, foaming. Truly Quraysh have broken their promise to you, and violated your confirmed covenant, and set for me at Kadāʾ watchmen, and claimed that I call upon no one, though they are more abject and fewer in number. They fell upon us at al-Watīr by night while we slept, and killed us bowing and prostrating. (He means: we were killed while we had submitted.) Ibn Hishām said: It is also transmitted: So grant victory—may God guide you—a strengthening victory. Ibn Hishām said: It is also transmitted: We gave birth to you, so you were a child. Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “You shall be helped, O ʿAmr b. Sālim.” Then a wisp of cloud appeared in the sky before the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said: “This cloud is beginning to pour down with the help of Banū Kaʿb.”
