The arrival of al-Ashʿath b. Qays in the delegation of Kindah
[ نَسَبُ الْأَشْعَثِ إلَى آكِلِ الْمُرَارِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ آكِلِ الْمُرَارِ مِنْ قِبَلِ النِّسَاءِ، وَآكِلُ الْمُرَارِ: الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُجْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ ثَوْرِ بْنِ مُرَتِّعِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ كِنْدِيٍّ، وَيُقَالُ كِنْدَةَ، وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ آكِلَ الْمُرَارِ، لِأَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْهَبُولَةِ الْغَسَّانِيَّ أَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَكَانَ الْحَارِثُ غَائِبًا، فَغَنِمَ وَسَبَى، وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ سَبَى أُمُّ أُنَاسَ بِنْتُ عَوْفِ بْنِ مُحَلَّمٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، امْرَأَةُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، فَقَالَتْ لِعَمْرِو فِي مَسِيرِهِ: لَكَأَنِّي بِرَجُلِ أَدْلَمْ أَسْوَدَ، كَأَنَّ مَشَافِرَهُ مَشَافِرُ بَعِيرِ آكِلِ مُرَارٍ قَدْ أَخَذَ بِرِقْبَتِكَ، تَعْنِي الْحَارِثَ، فَسُمِّيَ آكِلَ الْمُرَارِ، وَالْمُرَارُ: شَجَرٌ. ثُمَّ تَبِعَهُ الْحَارِثُ فِي بَنِي بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، فَلَحِقَهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ، وَاسْتَنْقَذَ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَمَا كَانَ أَصَابَ. فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حِلِّزَةَ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ، وَهُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ هِنْدٍ اللَّخْمِيُّ: وَأَقَدْنَاكَ رَبَّ غَسَّانَ بِالْمُنْذِرِ كَرْهًا إذْ لَا تُكَالُ الدِّمَاءُ لِأَنَّ الْحَارِثَ الْأَعْرَجَ الْغَسَّانِيَّ قَتَلَ الْمُنْذِرُ أَبَاهُ، وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَطْوَلُ مِمَّا ذَكَرْتُ، وَإِنَّمَا مَنَعَنِي مِنْ اسْتِقْصَائِهِ مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ الْقَطْعِ. وَيُقَالُ بَلْ آكِلُ الْمُرَارِ: حُجْرُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَهُوَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ؛ وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ آكِلَ الْمُرَارِ، لِأَنَّهُ أَكَلَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ شَجَرًا يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمُرَارُ
Translation
✧ [The lineage of al-Ashʿath back to Ākil al-Murār] Ibn Hishām said: Al-Ashʿath b. Qays is from the descendants of Ākil al-Murār on the women's side. Ākil al-Murār is al-Ḥārith b. ʿAmr b. Ḥujr b. ʿAmr b. Muʿāwiyah b. al-Ḥārith b. Muʿāwiyah b. Thawr b. Murattiʿ b. Muʿāwiyah b. Kindiyy—and one says Kindah. He was only named Ākil al-Murār because ʿAmr b. al-Habūlah al-Ghassānī raided them while al-Ḥārith was absent, and he took booty and captives. Among those he captured was Umm Unās bt. ʿAwf b. Muḥallim al-Shaybānī, the wife of al-Ḥārith b. ʿAmr. She said to ʿAmr during his march: "It is as if I see a dark, black man, whose lips are like the lips of a camel eating murār, who has seized you by the neck"—meaning al-Ḥārith. So he was named Ākil al-Murār. Al-murār is a tree. Then al-Ḥārith pursued him among the Banū Bakr b. Wāʾil, caught up with him, killed him, and recovered his wife and what had been taken. Al-Ḥārith b. Ḥillizah al-Yashkurī said to ʿAmr b. al-Mundhir, who is ʿAmr b. Hind al-Lakhmī: "And we made you pay for the lord of Ghassān with al-Mundhir, reluctantly, when blood is not measured out" because al-Ḥārith al-Aʿraj al-Ghassānī had killed al-Mundhir, his father. This verse is in an ode of his. This account is longer than what I have mentioned; I was only prevented from completing it by what I mentioned of abridgment. And it is said: Rather, Ākil al-Murār is Ḥujr b. ʿAmr b. Muʿāwiyah, and he is the one of this account. He was only named Ākil al-Murār because he and his companions ate during that raid a tree called al-murār.
