غَزْوَةُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْخِطْمِيِّ لِقَتْلِ عَصْمَاءَ بِنْتَ مَرْوَانَ [ نِفَاقُهَا وَشِعْرُهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ] وَغَزْوَةُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْخِطْمِيِّ عَصْمَاءَ بِنْتَ مَرْوَانَ، وَهِيَ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ أَبُو عَفَكٍ نَافَقَتْ، فَذَكَرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي خَطْمَةَ، وَيُقَالُ لَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَتْ، تَعِيبُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَأَهْلَهُ: بِاسْتِ بَنِي مَالِكٍ وَالنَّبِيتِ وَعَوْفٍ وَبِاسْتِ بَنِي الْخَزْرَجِ أَطَعْتُمْ أَتَاوِيَّ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ فَلَا مِنْ مُرَادٍ وَلَا مَذْحِجِ تَرْجُونَهُ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الرُّءُوسِ كَمَا يُرْتَجَى مَرَقُ الْمُنْضَجِ أَلَا أَنِفٌ يَبْتَغِيَ غِرَّةُ فَيَقْطَعُ مِنْ أَمَلِ الْمُرْتَجِي [ شِعْرُ حَسَّانَ فِي الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهَا ] قَالَ: فَأَجَابَهَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، فَقَالَ: بَنُو وَائِلٍ وَبَنُو وَاقِفٍ وَخَطْمَةُ دُونَ بَنِي الْخَزْرَجِ مَتَى مَا دَعَتْ سَفَهًا وَيْحَهَا بِعَوْلَتِهَا وَالْمَنَايَا تَجِي فَهَزَّتْ فَتًى مَاجِدًا عِرْقُهُ كَرِيمُ الْمَدَاخِلِ وَالْمَخْرَجِ فَضَرَّجَهَا مِنْ نَجِيعِ الدِّمَا ء بَعْدَ الْهُدُوِّ فَلَمْ يَحْرَجْ [ خُرُوجُ الْخِطْمِيِّ لَقَتْلِهَا ] فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ بَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ، أَلَا آخِذٌ لِي مِنْ ابْنَةِ مَرْوَانَ ؟ فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْخِطْمِيُّ، وَهُوَ عِنْدَهُ؛ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ سَرَى عَلَيْهَا فِي بَيْتِهَا فَقَتَلَهَا، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إنِّي قَدْ قَتَلْتهَا. فَقَالَ نَصَرْتُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَا عُمَيْرُ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَأْنِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا يَنْتَطِحُ فِيهَا عَنْزَانِ
Translation
✧ Expedition of ʿUmayr b. ʿAdī al-Khiṭmī to kill ʿAṣmāʾ bt. Marwān [her hypocrisy and her poetry about that] And the expedition of ʿUmayr b. ʿAdī al-Khiṭmī against ʿAṣmāʾ bt. Marwān, who was of the Banū Umayyah b. Zayd. When Abū ʿAfak was killed, she became a hypocrite. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥārith b. al-Fuḍayl mentioned from his father, saying: She was married to a man of the Banū Khiṭmah called Yazīd b. Zayd, and she said, disparaging Islam and its people: By the anus of Banū Mālik and al-Nabīt and ʿAwf, and by the anus of Banū al-Khazraj: you have obeyed a stranger who is not of you, not from Murād nor from Madhḥij. Do you hope for him after the killing of the chiefs, as one hopes for the broth of the well-cooked meat? Is there no man of pride who seeks a moment of heedlessness, and cuts off the hope of the one who hopes? [Hassān's poetry in reply to her] He said: Hassān b. Thābit answered her, saying: Banū Wāʾil and Banū Wāqif and Khiṭmah are less than Banū al-Khazraj. Whenever she foolishly called, woe to her, with her wailing and the fates come, she roused a noble youth whose lineage is generous, noble in his entrances and his exits. He dyed her with the blood of the veins after nightfall, and he was not grieved. [The Khiṭmī's going out to kill her] So the Messenger of God ﷺ said, when that reached him: "Is there no one to rid me of Ibnat Marwān?" ʿUmayr b. ʿAdī al-Khiṭmī heard that from the speech of the Messenger of God ﷺ, while he was with him. When evening came of that night, he went by night to her in her house and killed her. Then he came in the morning with the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of God, I have killed her." He said: "You have helped God and His Messenger, O ʿUmayr." He said: "Is there anything upon me concerning her affair, O Messenger of God?" He said: "Two goats will not butt each other over her."
