Sirat Ibn Hisham 1435
Naming those who were martyred on the day of Hunayn
وَقَالَ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ أَيْضًا: إمَّا تَرَيْ يَا أُمَّ فَرْوَةَ خَيْلَنَا مِنْهَا مُعَطَّلَةٌ تُقَادُ وظُلَّعُ أَوْهَى مُقَارَعَةُ الْأَعَادِي دَمَّهَا فِيهَا نَوَافِذُ مِنْ جِرَاحٍ تَنْبَعُ فَلَرُبَّ قَائِلَةٍ كَفَاهَا وَقْعُنَا أَزْمَ الْحُرُوبِ فَسِرْبُهَا لَا يُفْزَعُ لَا وَفْدَ كَالْوَفْدِ الْأُلَى عَقَدُوا لَنَا سَبَبًا بِحَبْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا يُقْطَعُ وَفْدٌ أَبُو قَطَنٍ حُزَابَةُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَبُو الْغُيُوثِ وَوَاسِعٌ وَالْمِقْنَعُ وَالْقَائِدُ الْمِئَةُ الَّتِي وَفَّى بِهَا تِسْعَ الْمِئِينَ فَتَمَّ أَلْفٌ أَقْرَعُ جَمَعَتْ بَنُو عَوْفٍ وَرَهْطُ مُخَاشِنٍ سِتًّا وَأَحْلُبُ مِنْ خُفَافٍ أَرْبَعُ فَهُنَاكَ إذْ نُصِرَ النَّبِيُّ بِأَلْفِنَا عَقَدَ النَّبِيُّ لَنَا لِوَاءً يَلْمَعُ فُزْنَا بِرَايَتِهِ وَأَوْرَثَ عَقْدُهُ مَجْدَ الْحَيَاةِ وسُودَدًا لَا يُنْزَعُ وَغَدَاةَ نَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ جَنَاحُهُ بِبِطَاحِ مَكَّةَ وَالْقَنَا يَتَهَزَّعُ كَانَتْ إجَابَتُنَا لِدَاعِي رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ مِنَّا حَاسِرٌ وَمُقَنَّعُ فِي كُلِّ سَابِغَةٍ تَخَيَّرَ سَرْدَهَا دَاوُدُ إذْ نَسَجَ الْحَدِيدَ وَتُبَّعُ وَلَنَا عَلَى بِئْرَيْ حُنَيْنٍ مَوْكِبٌ دَمَغَ النِّفَاقَ وَهَضْبَةٌ مَا تُقْلَعُ نُصِرَ النَّبِيُّ بِنَا وَكُنَّا مَعْشَرًا فِي كُلِّ نَائِبَةٍ نَضُرُّ وَنَنْفَعُ ذُدْنَا غَدَاتَئِذٍ هَوَازِنَ بِالْقَنَا وَالْخَيْلُ يَغْمُرُهَا عَجَاجٌ يَسْطَعُ إذْ خَافَ حَدَّهُمْ النَّبِيُّ وَأَسْنَدُوا جَمْعًا تَكَادُ الشَّمْسُ مِنْهُ تَخْشَعُ تُدْعَى بَنُو جُشَمٍ وَتُدْعَى وَسْطَهُ أَفْنَاءُ نَصْرٍ وَالْأَسِنَّةُ شُرَّعُ حَتَّى إذَا قَالَ الرَّسُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَنِي سُلَيْمٍ قَدْ وَفَيْتُمْ فَارْفَعُوا رُحْنَا وَلَوْلَا نَحْنُ أَجْحَفَ بَأْسُهُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَحْرَزُوا ماَ جَمَّعُوا
Translation
✧ ʿAbbās b. Mirdās also said: Do you not see, O Umm Farwah, our horses—some of them riderless, being led, and some limping? The clashing of the enemies weakened their blood; in them are penetrating wounds that gush. Many a woman would have said, “Our onslaught sufficed her during the fiercest of wars, so her herd is no longer frightened.” No delegation was like the delegation of those who bound for us a bond with the rope of Muḥammad that will not be severed—a delegation in which Abū Qaṭan Ḥuzābah was among them, and Abū al-Ghuyūth, and Wāsiʿ, and al-Miqnaʿ, and the leader of the hundred who fulfilled with it the nine hundred, so a round thousand was completed. Banū ʿAwf and the clan of Mukhāshin gathered six, and I count four from Khufāf. There it was, when the Prophet was aided by our thousand, that the Prophet tied for us a banner that gleams. We won by his standard, and his knot bequeathed to us the glory of life and a sovereignty that will not be stripped away. And on the morning when we were with the Prophet as his wing in the valleys of Makkah, while the spears quivered, our answer to the caller of our Lord was in truth—among us one bareheaded and one helmeted—in every ample coat of mail whose rings Dāwūd chose when he wove iron, and Tubbaʿ. And we have at the two wells of Ḥunayn a procession that crushed hypocrisy and a hill that will not be uprooted. The Prophet was aided by us, and we were a band that in every misfortune harms and benefits. That morning we drove off Hawāzin with spears, while the horses were covered by a rising dust cloud, when the Prophet feared their edge and they had sent forward a host before which the sun almost lowered itself. Banū Jusham were called, and in its midst were called the branches of Naṣr, while the spearheads were leveled—until when the Messenger Muḥammad said, “O sons of Sulaym, you have fulfilled your duty, so lift up.” We returned, and had it not been for us, their might would have overwhelmed the believers and they would have seized what they had gathered.
