Sirat Ibn Hisham 231
The discarded garments (laqā) among the Hums, and poetry about it
[ اللَّقَى عِنْدَ الْحُمْسِ وَشِعْرٌ فِيهِ ] فَكَانَتْ الْعَرَبُ تُسَمِّي تِلْكَ الثِّيَابَ اللَّقَى. فَحَمَلُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْعَرَبَ، فَدَانَتْ بِهِ. وَوَقَفُوا عَلَى عرفَاتٍ، وَأَفَاضُوا مِنْهَا، وَطَافُوا بِالْبَيْتِ عُرَاةً: أَمَّا الرِّجَالُ فَيَطُوفُونَ عُرَاةً، وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ فَتَضَعُ إحْدَاهُنَّ ثِيَابَهَا كُلَّهَا إلَّا دِرْعًا مُفَرَّجًا عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ تَطُوفُ فِيهِ. فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ، وَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ تَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ:: الْيَوْمَ يَبْدُو بَعْضُهُ أَوْ كُلُّهُ وَمَا بَدَا مِنْهُ فَلَا أُحِلُّهُ وَمَنْ طَافَ مِنْهُمْ فِي ثِيَابِهِ الَّتِي جَاءَ فِيهَا مِنْ الْحِلِّ أَلْقَاهَا، فَلَمْ يَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا هُوَ وَلَا غَيْرُهُ. فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ يَذْكُرُ شَيْئًا تَرَكَهُ مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ فَلَا يَقْرَبُهُ، وَهُوَ يُحِبُّهُ:: كَفَى حَزَنًا كَرَّى عَلَيْهَا كَأَنَّهَا لَقًى بَيْنَ أَيْدِي الطَّائِفِينَ حَرِيمُ يَقُولُ: لَا تُمَسُّ
Translation
✧ [Al-Laqā among al-Ḥums and poetry concerning it] The Arabs used to call those garments al-laqā. They carried the Arabs along with that, and they adopted it as religion. They stood at ʿArafāt and performed the ifāḍah from it, and they circumambulated the House naked: as for the men, they would circumambulate naked; as for the women, one of them would remove all her garments except a loose shift over her, then circumambulate in it. A woman of the Arabs said, while she was thus circumambulating the House: Today some of it or all of it appears, And what appears of it I do not deem lawful. Whoever of them circumambulated in his garments in which he had come from outside the sacred precinct, he cast them off, and neither he nor anyone else benefited from them. A poet of the Arabs said, mentioning something he left behind of his garments so that he would not approach it, though he loved it: Enough of grief is my returning to them, as though it were Laqā between the hands of the circumambulators, ḥarīm. He means: it is not to be touched.
