[ مَقَالَةُ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ فِي اسْمِ الْقَوَاقِلِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَإِنَّمَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ الْقَوَاقِلُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إذَا اسْتَجَارَ بِهِمْ الرَّجُلُ دَفَعُوا لَهُ سَهْمًا، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: قَوْقِلْ بِهِ بِيَثْرِبَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْقَوْقَلَةُ: ضَرْبٌ مِنْ الْمَشْيِ. [ رِجَالُ الْعَقَبَةِ مِنْ بَنِي سَالِمٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَمِنْ بَنِي سَالِمِ بْنِ عَوْفِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي الْعَجْلَانِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ غَنْمِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ: الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نَضَلَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْعَجْلَانِ
Translation
✧ [Ibn Hishām's statement on the name al-Qawāqil] Ibn Hishām said: They were only called al-Qawāqil because when a man sought their protection, they would hand him an arrow and say to him: 'Go about with it in Yathrib wherever you wish.' Ibn Hishām said: al-qawqalah is a kind of walking. [The men of al-ʿAqabah from Banū Sālim] Ibn Isḥāq said: And from Banū Sālim b. ʿAwf b. ʿAmr b. al-Khazraj, then from Banū al-ʿAjlān b. Zayd b. Ghanm b. Sālim: al-ʿAbbās b. ʿUbādah b. Naḍalah b. Mālik b. al-ʿAjlān.
