Naming those who were martyred on the day of Hunayn
[ شِعْرُ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ فِي الرَّدِّ عَلَى ابْنِ أَبِي ثَوَابٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَجَابَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي أُسَيِّدٍ، فَقَالَ: بِشَرْطِ اللَّهِ نَضْرِبُ مَنْ لَقِينَا كَأَفْضَلِ مَا رَأَيْتَ مِنْ الشُّرُوطِ وَكُنَّا يَا هَوَازِنُ حِينَ نَلْقَى نَبُلُّ الْهَامَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ عَبِيطِ بِجَمْعِكُمْ وَجَمْعِ بَنِي قَسِيٍّ نَحُكُّ الْبَرْكَ كَالْوَرَقِ الْخَبِيطِ أَصَبْنَا مِنْ سَرَاتِكُمْ وَمِلْنَا بِقَتْلٍ فِي الْمُبَايِنِ وَالْخَلِيطِ بِهِ الْمُلْتَاثُ مُفْتَرِشٌ يَدَيْهِ يَمُجُّ الْمَوْتَ كَالْبَكْرِ النَّحِيطِ فَإِنْ تَكُ قَيْسُ عَيْلَانٍ غِضَابًا فَلَا يَنْفَكُّ يُرْغِمُهُمْ سَعُوطِي [ شِعْرُ خَدِيجٍ فِي يَوْمِ حُنَيْنٍ ] وَقَالَ خَدِيجُ بْنُ الْعَوْجَاءِ النَّصْرِيُّ: لَمَّا دَنَوْنَا مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ وَمَائِهِ رَأَيْنَا سَوَادًا مُنْكَرَ اللَّوْنِ أَخْصَفَا بِمَلْمُومَةٍ شَهْبَاءَ لَوْ قَذَفُوا بِهَا شَمَارِيخَ مِنْ عُزْوَى إذَنْ عَادَ صَفْصَفَا وَلَوْ أَنَّ قَوْمِي طَاوَعَتْنِي سَرَاتُهُمْ إذَنْ مَا لَقِينَا الْعَارِضَ الْمُتَكَشِّفَا إذَنْ مَا لَقِينَا جُنْدَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا وَاسْتَمَدُّوا بِخِنْدِفَا
Translation
✧ [Ibn Wahb's poetry in reply to Ibn Abī Thawāb] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Wahb, a man of Banū Tamīm, then of Banū Usayyid, replied to him, saying: By God's covenant we strike those we meet as the best of conditions you have seen. We were, O Hawāzin, when we meet, moistening heads with fresh blood, with your gathered forces and the gathered forces of Banū Qasī, we chafe the breast like pounded leaves. We struck your nobles and inclined to killing among the separated and the mingled; there the wounded lies prostrate on his hands, spewing death like a young camel in the throes of death. If Qays ʿAylān are angry, then my snuff will not cease to humiliate them. [Khadīj's poetry on the day of Ḥunayn] Khadīj b. al-ʿAwjāʾ al-Naṣrī said: When we drew near Ḥunayn and its water, we saw a darkness of hateful color, mottled, with a compact, gray mass; if they had hurled it at the peaks of ʿUzwā, they would have become a level plain. If my people's nobles had obeyed me, then we would not have met the disclosing cloud; then we would not have met the army of the family of Muḥammad, eighty thousand, and they sought reinforcement with Khindif.
