Sirat Ibn Hisham 59
What was said in poetry in description of the elephant
مَا قِيلَ فِي صِفَةِ الْفِيلِ مِنْ الشِّعْرِ [ إعْظَامُ الْعَرَبِ قُرَيْشًا بَعْدَ حَادِثَةِ الْفِيلِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا رَدَّ اللَّهُ الْحَبَشَةَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ، وَأَصَابَهُمْ بِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ النِّقْمَةِ، أَعْظَمَتْ الْعَرَبُ قُرَيْشًا، وَقَالُوا: هُمْ أَهْلُ اللَّهِ، قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَكَفَاهُمْ مَئُونَةَ عَدُوِّهِمْ. فَقَالُوا فِي ذَلِكَ أَشْعَارًا يَذْكُرُونَ فِيهَا مَا صَنَعَ اللَّهُ بِالْحَبَشَةِ، وَمَا رَدَّ عَنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ كَيْدِهِمْ.
