What poetry was recited about the day of Badr
قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَبْدَلْنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَصِيدَةِ كَلِمَتَيْنِ مِمَّا رَوَى ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ، وَهُمَا الْفَخْرُ فِي آخِرِ الْبَيْتِ، وَفَمَا لِحَلِيمِ، فِي أَوَّلِ الْبَيْتِ، لِأَنَّهُ نَالَ فِيهِمَا مِنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فِي يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ: قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالشِّعْرِ يَعْرِفُهَا وَلَا نَقِيضَتَهَا، وَإِنَّمَا كَتَبْنَاهُمَا لِأَنَّهُ يُقَالُ: إنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ فِي الْقَتْلَى، وَذَكَرَهُ فِي هَذَا الشِّعْرِ: أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَبْلَى رَسُولَهُ بَلَاءَ عَزِيزٍ ذِي اقْتِدَارِ وَذِي فَضْلٍ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ الْكُفَّارَ دَارَ مَذَلَّةٍ فَلَاقَوْا هَوَانَا مِنْ إسَارٍ وَمِنْ قَتْلِ فَأَمْسَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَزَّ نَصْرُهُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أُرْسِلَ بِالْعَدْلِ فَجَاءَ بِفُرْقَانٍ مِنْ اللَّهِ مُنْزَلٍ مُبَيَّنَةٍ آيَاتُهُ لِذَوِي الْعَقْلِ فَآمَنَ أَقْوَامٌ بِذَاكَ وَأَيْقَنُوا فَأَمْسَوْا بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ مُجْتَمِعِي الشَّمْلِ وَأَنْكَرَ أَقْوَامٌ فَزَاغَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ ذُو الْعَرْشِ خَبْلًا عَلَى خَبْلُ وَأَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ رَسُولَهُ وَقَوْمًا غِضَابًا فِعْلُهُمْ أَحْسَنُ الْفِعْلِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ بِيضٌ خِفَافٌ عَصَوْا بِهَا وَقَدْ حَادَثُوهَا بِالْجِلَاءِ وَبِالصَّقْلِ فَكَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ نَاشِئٍ ذِي حَمِيَّةٍ صَرِيعًا وَمِنْ ذِي نَجْدَةٍ مِنْهُمْ كَهْلِ تَبِيتُ عُيُونُ النَّائِحَاتِ عَلَيْهِمْ تَجُودُ بِأَسْبَالِ الرَّشَاشِ وَبِالْوَبْلِ نَوَائِحَ تَنْعَى عُتْبَةَ الْغَيَّ وَابْنَهُ وَشَيْبَةَ تَنْعَاهُ وَتَنْعَى أَبَا جَهْلٍ وَذَا الرَّجُلِ تَنْعَى وَابْنَ جُدْعَانَ فِيهِمْ مُسَلِّبَةً حَرَّى مُبَيَّنَةَ الثُّكْلِ ثَوَى مِنْهُمْ فِي بِئْرِ بَدْرٍ عِصَابَةٌ ذَوِي نَجَدَاتٍ فِي الْحُرُوبِ وَفِي الْمَحْلِ دَعَا الْغَيُّ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ دَعَا فَأَجَابَهُ وَلِلْغَيِّ أَسِبَابٌ مُرَمَّقَةُ الْوَصْلِ عَنْ الشَّغْبِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ فِي أَشْغَلْ الشُّغْلِ فَأَضْحَوْا لَدَى دَارِ الْجَحِيمِ بِمَعْزِلٍ
Translation
✧ Ibn Hishām said: We have replaced two words of this poem from what Ibn Isḥāq narrated: the first is “al-fakhr” at the end of the verse, and the second is “fa-mā li-ḥalīm” at the beginning of the verse, because in them he disparaged the Prophet ﷺ. Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib said concerning the day of Badr: Ibn Hishām said: I have not seen any of the people of knowledge in poetry recognize it or its counterpoem. We have written them down only because it is said that ʿAmr b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Judʿān was killed on the day of Badr, and Ibn Isḥāq did not mention him among the slain, but mentioned him in this poetry: Do you not see that God tried His Messenger with the trial of a Mighty One, possessor of power and of bounty, when He brought the unbelievers down to an abode of abasement, and they met humiliation from captivity and from slaying. So the Messenger of God arose with his victory made mighty, and the Messenger of God was sent with justice. He brought a Furqān from God, sent down, whose signs are made clear for those of reason. So peoples believed in that and were certain, and arose by God’s praise with their assembly united. And peoples denied, and their hearts swerved, so the Lord of the Throne increased them in loss upon loss. He enabled against them on the day of Badr His Messenger and a people wrathful whose deed was the best of deeds. In their hands were white swords, light, with which they struck, and they had sharpened them with polishing and with whetting. How many they left of a youth possessed of zeal thrown down, and of one of them possessed of courage in his prime. The eyes of the wailing women pass the night over them, pouring forth with streams of fine rain and with downpour, wailing women who lament ʿUtbah of error and his son, and Shaybah they lament, and they lament Abū Jahl, and the man they lament, and Ibn Judʿān among them, a woman robbed of her child, burning, whose bereavement is made clear. There lay of them in the well of Badr a band possessed of courage in wars and in drought. Error called from among them him who called, and he answered it, for error has causes whose connection is patched together, away from tumult and enmity in the most preoccupying of occupations. So they came to be at the abode of Hell, set apart.
