What poetry was recited about the day of Badr
وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزِّبْعَرَى السَّهْمِيُّ يَبْكِي قَتْلَى بَدْرٍ: فَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَتُرْوَى لِلْأَعْشَى بْنِ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ النَّبَّاشِ، أَحَدُ بَنِي أُسَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، حَلِيفُ بَنِي نَوْفَلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَلِيفُ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ: مَاذَا عَلَى بَدْرٍ وَمَاذَا حَوْلَهُ مِنْ فِتْيَةٍ بِيضِ الْوُجُوهِ كِرَامٍ تَرَكُوا نُبَيْهًا خَلْفَهُمْ وَمُنَبِّهًا وَابْنَيْ رَبِيعَةَ خَيْرَ خَصْمٍ فِئَامِ وَالْحَارِثَ الْفَيَّاضَ يَبْرُقُ وَجْهُهُ كَالْبَدْرِ جَلَّى لَيْلَةَ الْإِظْلَامِ وَالْعَاصِيَ بْنَ مُنَبِّهٍ ذَا مِرَّةٍ رُمْحًا تَمِيمًا غَيْرَ ذِي أَوْصَامِ تَنَمَّى بَهْ أَعْرَاقُهُ وَجُدُودُهُ وَمَآثِرُ الْأَخْوَالِ وَالْأَعْمَامِ وَإِذَا بَكَى بَاكٍ فَأَعْوَلَ شَجْوَهُ فَعَلَى الرَّئِيسِ الْمَاجِدِ ابْنِ هِشَامِ حَيَّا الْإِلَهُ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ وَرَهْطَهُ رَبَّ الْأَنَامِ، وَخَصَّهُمْ بِسَلَامِ فَأَجَابَهُ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَقَالَ: ابْكِ بَكَتْ عَيْنَاكَ ثُمَّ تَبَادَرَتْ بِدَمِ تُعَلُّ غُرُوبُهَا سَجَّامِ مَاذَا بَكَيْتَ بِهِ الَّذِينَ تَتَايَعُوا هَلَّا ذَكَرْتَ مَكَارِمَ الْأَقْوَامِ وَذَكَرْتَ مِنَّا مَاجِدًا ذَا هِمَّةٍ سَمْحَ الْخَلَائِقِ صَادِقَ الْإِقْدَامِ أَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ أَخَا الْمَكَارِمِ وَالنَّدَى وَأَبَرَّ مَنْ يُولَى عَلَى الْإِقْسَامِ فَلِمِثْلِهِ وَلِمِثْلِ مَا يَدْعُو لَهُ كَانَ الْمُمَدَّحَ ثَمُّ غَيْرُ كَهَامِ
Translation
✧ ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zibaʿrā al-Sahmī said, lamenting the slain of Badr: Ibn Hishām said: It is also related on the authority of al-Aʿshā b. Zurārah b. al-Nabbāsh, one of the Banū Usayd b. ʿAmr b. Tamīm, an ally of the Banū Nawfal b. ʿAbd Manāf. Ibn Isḥāq said: An ally of the Banū ʿAbd al-Dār: What of Badr and what surrounds it, of youths fair of face and noble, who left behind Nubayh and Munabbih, and the two sons of Rabīʿah, best of a numerous opponent; and al-Ḥārith al-Fayyāḍ, whose face gleamed like the full moon when it clears on a night of darkness; and al-ʿĀṣī b. Munabbih, possessed of strength, a perfect spear, without blemish. His roots and ancestors branched forth nobly, and the glories of maternal and paternal uncles. When a mourner weeps and raises his lament, then it is for the glorious chief, the son of Hishām. May God greet Abū al-Walīd and his clan, Lord of mankind, and single them out with peace. Ḥassān b. Thābit al-Anṣārī answered him, saying: Weep—may your eyes weep and then rush forth with blood, their channels watered by copious flowing tears. Why do you weep for those who hastened to ruin? Would that you had remembered the noble deeds of the peoples, and remembered from us a glorious one of high resolve, generous in character, truthful in advance—I mean the Prophet, brother of noble deeds and liberality, and the most dutiful of those entrusted with oaths. For one like him and for what he calls to, praise was fitting there, not feeble.
