Naming those who were martyred on the day of Hunayn
[ شِعْرُ ضَمْضَمٍ فِي يَوْمِ حُنَيْنٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ جُشَمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَوْفِ بْنِ يَقَظَةَ بْنِ عُصَيَّةَ السُّلَمِيُّ فِي يَوْمِ حُنَيْنٍ، وَكَانَتْ ثَقِيفٌ أَصَابَتْ كِنَانَةَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، فَقَتَلَ بِهِ مِحْجَنًا وَابْنَ عَمٍّ لَهُ، وَهُمَا مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ: نَحْنُ جَلَبْنَا الْخَيْلَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَجْلَبٍ إلَى جُرَشٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ زَيَّانَ وَالْفَمِ نُقَتِّلُ أَشْبَالَ الْأُسُودِ وَنَبْتَغِي طَوَاغِيَ كَانَتْ قَبْلَنَا لَمْ تُهَدَّمْ فَإِنْ تَفْخَرُوا بِابْنِ الشَّرِيدِ فَإِنَّنِي تَرَكْتُ بِوَجٍّ مَأْتَمًا بَعْدَ مَأْتَمِ أَبَأْتُهُمَا بِابْنِ الشَّرِيدِ وَغَرَّهُ جِوَارُكُمْ وَكَانَ غَيْرَ مُذَمَّمِ تُصِيبُ رِجَالًا مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ رِمَاحُنَا وَأَسْيَافُنَا يَكْلِمْنَهُمْ كُلَّ مَكْلَمِ وَقَالَ ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَيْضًا: أَبْلِغْ لَدَيْكَ ذَوِي الْحَلَائِلِ آيَةً لَا تَأْمَنَنَّ الدَّهْرَ ذَاتَ خِمَارِ بَعْدَ الَّتِي قَالَتْ لِجَارَةِ بَيْتِهَا قَدْ كُنْتُ لَوْ لَبِثَ الْغَزِيُّ بِدَارِ لَمَّا رَأَتْ رَجُلًا تَسَفَّعَ لَوْنَهُ وَغْرُ الْمَصِيفَةِ وَالْعِظَامُ عَوَارِي مُشُطَ الْعِظَامِ تَرَاهُ آخِرَ لَيْلِهِ مُتَسَرْبِلًا فِي دِرْعِهِ لِغِوَارِ إذْ لَا أَزَالُ عَلَى رِحَالَةِ نَهْدَةٍ جَرْدَاءَ تُلْحِقُ بِالنِّجَادِ إزَارِي يَوْمًا عَلَى أَثَرِ النِّهَابِ وَتَارَةً كُتِبَتْ مُجَاهِدَةً مَعَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَزُهَاءَ كُلِّ خَمِيلَةٍ أَزْهَقْتهَا مَهَلًا تَمَهَّلُهُ وَكُلِّ خَبَارِ كَيْمَا أُغَيِّرَ مَا بِهَا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَتَوَدُّ أَنِّي لَا أَؤُوبُ فَجَارِ
Translation
✧ [Poetry of Ḍamḍam on the day of Ḥunayn] Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḍamḍam b. al-Ḥārith b. Jusham b. ʿAbd b. Ḥabīb b. Mālik b. ʿAwf b. Yaqaẓah b. ʿUṣayyah al-Sulamī said on the day of Ḥunayn, when Thaqīf had struck Kinānah b. al-Ḥakam b. Khālid b. al-Sharīd, and he had thereby killed Miḥjan and a cousin of his, both of Thaqīf: We brought the horses from no place of mustering To Jurash from the people of Zayyān and al-Fam; We kill the cubs of lions and seek Tyrants who were before us and had not been toppled. If you boast of Ibn al-Sharīd, then I have Left in Wajj a mourning after a mourning. I avenged the two of them with Ibn al-Sharīd, and he was deceived by Your protection, and he was not blameworthy. Our spears strike men of Thaqīf, And our swords wound them with every wound. Ḍamḍam b. al-Ḥārith also said: Deliver, by you, to the women of the tents a sign: Do not ever feel secure, O veiled one, from time, After the one who said to her household's neighbour: 'I would have, if the raiding party had lingered at the abode—' When she saw a man whose colour was scorched By the heat of summer, and the bones were bare, With prominent bones, you would see him at the end of his night Robed in his coat of mail for a raid, When I do not cease to be upon the saddle of a sturdy, bare-bellied Camel that brings my waist-wrapper up to the highlands— One day following the spoils, and at another time It is recorded as a struggle alongside the Anṣār, And around every thicket I destroy it, A slow pace he gives it, and every soft ground, So that I may change what is in it of need, And she wishes that I would not return, O sinful one.
