[ شِعْرُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ فِي يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ: جَزَى اللَّهُ عَنَّا مُدْلِجًا حَيْثُ أَصْبَحَتْ جَزَاءَةَ بُوسَى حَيْثُ سَارَتْ وَحَلَّتْ أَقَامُوا عَلَى أَقْضَاضِنَا يَقْسِمُونَهَا وَقْدَ نُهِلَتْ فِينَا الرِّمَاحُ وَعَلَّتْ فَوَاَللَّهِ لَوْلَا دِينُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ هَرَبَتْ مِنْهُمْ خُيُولُ فَشَلَّتْ وَمَا ضَرَّهُمْ أَنْ لَا يُعِينُوا كَتِيبَةً كَرِجْلِ جَرَادٍ أُرْسِلَتْ فَاشْمَعَلَّتِ فَإِمَّا يَنْبُوا أَوْ يَثُوبُوا لِأَمْرِهِمْ فَلَا نَحْنُ نَجْزِيهِمْ بِمَا قَدْ أَضَلَّتْ [ شِعْرُ وَهْبٍ فِي الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ ] فَأَجَابَهُ وَهْبٌ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ، فَقَالَ: دَعَوْنَا إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْحَقِّ عَامِرًا فَمَا ذَنْبُنَا فِي عَامِرٍ إذْ تَوَلَّتْ وَمَا ذَنْبُنَا فِي عَامِرٍ لَا أَبَا لَهُمْ لِأَنْ سَفِهَتْ أَحْلَامُهُمْ ثُمَّ ضَلَّتْ وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ: لِيَهْنِئْ بَنِي كَعْبٍ مُقَدَّمُ خَالِدٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ إذْ صَبَّحَتْنَا الْكَتَائِبُ فَلَا تِرَةٌ يَسْعَى بِهَا ابْنُ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَقَدْ كُنْتَ مَكْفِيًّا لَوَ انَّكَ غَائِبُ فَلَا قَوْمُنَا يَنْهَوْنَ عَنَّا غُوَاتَهُمْ وَلَا الدَّاءُ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْغُمَيْصَاءِ ذَاهِبُ
Translation
✧ [Poem of a man from Banū Jadhīmah on the Day of the Conquest] Ibn Isḥāq said: A man from Banū Jadhīmah said: May God reward Mudlij on our behalf when she became, A recompense of misfortune when she marched and alighted. They stayed over our remnants, dividing them, While spears among us had drunk their fill and been given to drink again. By God, were it not for the religion of the family of Muḥammad, Their horses would have fled and been put to flight. It would not harm them to refrain from aiding a squadron, Like a swarm of locusts sent forth and scattered. Whether they turn aside or return to their affair, We shall not requite them for what they have led astray. [Poem of Wahb in reply to him] Wahb, a man from Banū Layth, answered him, saying: They called ʿĀmir to Islam and the truth, So what is our sin regarding ʿĀmir when she turned away? What is our sin regarding ʿĀmir, may they have no father, Because their minds became foolish and then went astray? And a man from Banū Jadhīmah said: May it gladden Banū Kaʿb, the advance of Khālid And his companions, when the squadrons came upon us at dawn. There is no vengeance pursued by Ibn Khuwaylid, And you would have been spared had you been absent. Neither do our people restrain their foolish ones from us, Nor does the ailment from the day of al-Ghumayṣāʾ depart.
