The story of the king of al-Ḥaḍr
[ أَوْلَادُ أَنْمَارٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَنْمَارُ: أَبُو خَثْعَمَ وَبَجِيلَةَ. قَالَ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ وَكَانَ سَيِّدَ بَجِيلَةَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ لَهُ الْقَائِلُ:: لَوْلَا جَرِيرٌ هَلَكَتْ بَجِيلَهُ نِعْمَ الْفَتَى وَبِئْسَتِ الْقِبِيلَهْ وَهُوَ يُنَافِرُ الْفُرَافِصَةَ الْكَلْبِيَّ إلَى الْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ ( بْنِ عِقَالِ بْنِ مُجَاشِعِ بْنِ دَارِمِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ زَيْدِ مَنَاةَ ):: يَا أَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ يَا أَقْرَعُ إنَّكَ إنْ يُصْرَعْ أَخُوكَ تُصْرَعُ وَقَالَ:: ابْنَيْ نِزَارٍ اُنْصُرَا أَخَاكُمَا إنَّ أَبِي وَجَدْتَهُ أَبَاكُمَا لَنْ يُغْلَبَ الْيَوْمَ أَخٌ وَالَاكُمَا وَقَدْ تَيَامَنَتْ فَلَحِقَتْ بِالْيَمَنِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَالَتْ الْيَمَنُ: وَبَجِيلَةُ: أَنْمَارُ بْنُ إرَاشِ بْنِ لِحْيَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْغَوْثِ بْنِ نَبْتِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ كَهْلَانَ بْنِ سَبَأٍ؛ وَيُقَالُ: إرَاشُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ لِحْيَانَ بْنِ الْغَوْثِ. وَدَارُ بَجِيلَةَ وَخَثْعَمَ: يَمَانِيَّةٌ
Translation
✧ Children of Anmār. Ibn Isḥāq said: Anmār is the father of Khathʿam and Bajīlah. Jarīr b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Bajalī, who was the chief of Bajīlah, said—he is the one about whom someone said: 'Were it not for Jarīr, Bajīlah would have perished; what a fine young man, and what a wretched tribe!'—while he was vying in glory with al-Furāfiṣah al-Kalbī before al-Aqraʿ b. Ḥābis al-Tamīmī (b. ʿIqāl b. Mujāshiʿ b. Dārim b. Mālik b. Ḥanẓalah b. Mālik b. Zayd Manāh): 'O Aqraʿ b. Ḥābis, O Aqraʿ, if your brother is thrown down, you will be thrown down.' And he said: 'O two sons of Nizār, help your brother, for you will find my father to be your father. Today no brother who is loyal to you will be defeated.' They had gone toward the right and joined Yemen. Ibn Hishām said: The people of Yemen say: Bajīlah is Anmār b. Irāsh b. Liḥyān b. ʿAmr b. al-Ghawth b. Nabt b. Mālik b. Zayd b. Kahlān b. Sabaʾ; and it is also said: Irāsh b. ʿAmr b. Liḥyān b. al-Ghawth. The abode of Bajīlah and Khathʿam is in Yemen.
