The Messenger's preparation for the conquest of Makkah
[ تَجْهِيزُ الرَّسُولِ لِفَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ] وَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْجَهَازِ، وَأَمَرَ أَهْلَهُ أَنْ يُجَهِّزُوهُ، فَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى ابْنَتِهِ عَائِشَةَ ؓ، وَهِيَ تُحَرِّكُ بَعْضَ جَهَازِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَيْ، بُنَيَّةُ: أَأَمَرَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُجَهِّزُوهُ ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَتَجَهَّزْ، قَالَ: فَأَيْنَ تَرَيْنَهُ يُرِيدُ ؟ قَالَتْ: ( لَا ) وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي. ثُمَّ إنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ سَائِرٌ إلَى مَكَّةَ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْجِدِّ وَالتَّهَيُّؤِ، وَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ خُذْ الْعُيُونَ وَالْأَخْبَارَ عَنْ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى نَبْغَتَهَا فِي بِلَادِهَا فَتَجَهَّزَ النَّاسُ [ شِعْرُ حَسَّانَ فِي تَحْرِيضِ النَّاسِ ] فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يُحَرِّضُ النَّاسَ وَيَذْكُرُ مُصَابَ رِجَالِ خُزَاعَةَ: عَنَانِي وَلَمْ أَشْهَدْ بِبَطْحَاءِ مَكَّةٍ رِجَالُ بَنِي كَعْبٍ تُحَزُّ رِقَابُهَا بِأَيْدِي رِجَالٍ لَمْ يَسُلُّوا سُيُوفَهُمْ وَقَتْلَى كَثِيرٌ لَمْ تُجَنَّ ثِيَابُهَا أَلَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ تَنَالَنَّ نُصْرَتِي سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَخْزُهَا وَعُقَابُهَا وَصَفْوَانُ عَوْدٌ حَنَّ مِنْ شُفْرِ اسْتِهِ فَهَذَا أَوَانُ الْحَرْبِ شُدَّ عِصَابُهَا فَلَا تَأْمَنَنَّا يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ مُجَالِدٍ إذَا اُحْتُلِبَتْ صَرْفًا وَأَعْصَلَ نَابُهَا ولاَ تَجْزَعُوا مِنَّا فَإِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا لَهَا وَقْعَةٌ بِالْمَوْتِ يُفْتَحُ بَابُهَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَوْلُ حَسَّانَ: بأيدي رِجَالٍ لَمْ يَسُلُّوا سُيُوفَهُمْ يَعْنِي قُرَيْشًا؛ وَابْنُ أُمِّ مُجَالِدٍ يَعْنِي عِكْرِمَةَ بْنَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger's preparation for the conquest of Makkah] The Messenger of God ﷺ ordered the equipment and commanded his family to prepare him. Abū Bakr entered upon his daughter ʿĀʾishah ؓ while she was moving some of the equipment of the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: "O my daughter, did the Messenger of God ﷺ order you to prepare him?" She said: "Yes, so prepare yourself." He said: "Where do you think he intends to go?" She said: "No, by God, I do not know." Then the Messenger of God ﷺ informed the people that he was marching to Makkah, and he ordered them to be diligent and to make ready. He said: "O God, take away the eyes and the reports from Quraysh until we take them by surprise in their land." So the people made ready. [Ḥassān's poem inciting the people] Ḥassān b. Thābit said, inciting the people and mentioning the calamity of the men of Khuzāʿah: It grieved me, though I did not witness, in the vale of Makkah, the men of Banū Kaʿb whose necks are being cut, by the hands of men who had not drawn their swords, and many slain whose garments were not shrouded. Would that I knew whether my aid will reach Suhayl b. ʿAmr and its lowlands and its highlands, and Ṣafwān, an old one who yearned from the edge of his anus. This is the time of war: bind its bandage. So do not feel secure from us, O son of Umm Mujālid, when it is milked pure and its fang strikes. Do not panic at us, for our swords have a falling upon death, whose door is opened. Ibn Hishām said: Ḥassān's saying "by the hands of men who had not drawn their swords" means Quraysh; and "son of Umm Mujālid" means ʿIkrimah b. Abī Jahl.
