What poetry was recited about the day of Badr
[ شِعْرٌ لِحَسَّانَ فِيهَا أَيْضًا ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَيْضًا: لَقَدْ عَلِمَتْ قُرَيْشٌ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ غَدَاةَ الْأَسْرِ وَالْقَتْلِ الشَّدِيدِ بِأَنَّا حَيْنَ تَشْتَجِرُ الْعَوَالِي حُمَاةُ الْحَرْبِ يَوْمَ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ قَتَلْنَا ابْنَيْ رَبِيعَةَ يَوْمَ سَارا إلَيْنَا فِي مُضَاعَفَةِ الْحَدِيدِ وَفَرَّ بِهَا حَكِيمٌ يَوْمَ جَالَتْ بَنُو النَّجَّارِ تَخْطِرُ كَالْأُسُودِ وَوَلَّتْ عِنْدَ ذَاكَ جَمُوعُ فِهْرٍ وَأَسْلَمَهَا الْحُوَيْرِثُ مِنْ بِعِيدِ لَقَدْ لَاقَيْتُمْ ذُلًّا وَقَتْلًا جَهِيزًا نَافِذًا تَحْتَ الْوَرِيدِ وَكُلُّ الْقَوْمِ قَدْ وَلَّوْا جَمِيعًا وَلَمْ يَلْوُوا عَلَى الْحَسَبِ التَّلِيدِ وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَيْضًا: يَا حَارِ قَدْ عَوَّلْتَ غَيْرَ مُعَوَّلٍ عِنْدَ الْهِيَاجِ وَسَاعَةَ الْأَحْسَابِ إذْ تَمْتَطِي سُرُحَ الْيَدَيْنِ نَجِيبَةً مَرْطَى الْجِرَاءِ طَوِيلَةَ الْأَقْرَابِ وَالْقَوْمُ خَلْفَكَ قَدْ تَرَكْتَ قِتَالَهُمْ تَرْجُو النَّجَاءَ وَلَيْسَ حَيْنَ ذَهَابِ أَلَّا عَطَفْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ أُمِّكَ إذْ ثَوَى قَعْصَ الْأَسِنَّةِ ضَائِعَ الْأَسْلَابِ عَجَّلَ الْمَلِيكُ لَهُ فَأَهْلَكَ جَمْعَهُ بِشَنَارِ مُخْزِيَةٍ وَسُوءِ عَذَابِ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: تَرَكْنَا مِنْهَا بَيْتًا وَاحِدًا أَقْذَعَ فِيهِ
Translation
✧ [Poetry by Hassān about it as well] Ibn Isḥāq said: And Ḥassān b. Thābit also said: Quraysh knew on the day of Badr, the morning of captivity and fierce killing, That when the spearheads clash, we are the protectors of war on the day of Abū al-Walīd. We killed the two sons of Rabīʿa on the day they marched against us in doubled iron. Ḥakīm fled with it on the day Banū al-Najjār surged, strutting like lions. Then the hosts of Fihr turned in flight, and al-Ḥuwayrith abandoned them from afar. You met humiliation and swift killing, piercing beneath the jugular vein. And all the people turned away together, not pausing for their ancient lineage. And Ḥassān b. Thābit also said: O Ḥār, you have resolved on what cannot be resolved, at the time of battle and the hour of noble deeds, When you mount a swift-handed, noble she-camel, smooth in running, long in the flanks, While the people are behind you—you have left off fighting them, hoping for escape, but it is not the time for going. Would that you had turned back to your maternal uncle when he lay pierced by spear-points, stripped of his spoils. The King hastened for him and destroyed his host with disgraceful shame and evil punishment. Ibn Hishām said: We have omitted one verse from it in which he was obscene.
