What poetry was recited about the day of Badr
وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَيْضًا: أَلَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَتَى أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ إبَارَتُنَا الْكُفَّارَ فِي سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرِ قَتَلْنَا سَرَاةَ الْقَوْمِ عِنْدَ مَجَالِنَا فَلَمْ يَرْجِعُوا إلَّا بِقَاصِمَةِ الظَّهْرِ قَتَلْنَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ وَعُتْبَةَ قَبْلَهُ وَشَيْبَةُ يَكْبُو لِلْيَدَيْنِ وَلِلنَّحْرِ قَتَلْنَا سُوَيْدًا ثُمَّ عُتْبَةَ بَعْدَهُ وَطُعْمَةَ أَيْضًا عِنْدَ ثَائِرَةِ الْقَتْرِ فَكَمْ قَدْ قَتَلْنَا مِنْ كَرِيمٍ مُرَزَّإٍ لَهُ حَسَبٌ فِي قَوْمِهِ نَابَهُ الذِّكْرُ تَرَكْنَاهُمْ لِلْعَاوِيَاتِ يَنُبْنَهُمْ وَيَصْلَوْنَ نَارًا بَعْدُ حَامِيَةَ الْقَعْرِ لَعَمْرُكَ مَا حَامَتْ فَوَارِسُ مَالِكٍ وَأَشْيَاعُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَيْنَا عَلَى بَدْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَنْشَدَنِي أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بَيْتَهُ: قَتَلْنَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ وَعُتْبَةَ قَبْلَهُ وَشَيْبَةُ يَكْبُو لِلْيَدَيْنِ وَلِلنَّحْرِ
Translation
✧ Ḥassān b. Thābit also said: Would that I knew whether our destruction of the disbelievers reached the people of Makkah in the hour of hardship. We killed the chiefs of the people at our halting-place, and they returned only with a broken back. We killed Abū Jahl and ʿUtbah before him, and Shaybah falls upon his hands and throat. We killed Suwayd, then ʿUtbah after him, and Ṭuʿmah also amid the stirring dust of battle. How many a noble, afflicted man have we killed, who had lineage among his people and whose mention was eminent. We left them to the howling beasts to bite them, and they will roast in a fire thereafter, hot of depth. By your life, the horsemen of Mālik did not hover, nor their followers, on the day we met at Badr. Ibn Hishām said: Abū Zayd al-Anṣārī recited to me his verse: We killed Abū Jahl and ʿUtbah before him, and Shaybah falls upon his hands and throat.
