What poetry was recited about the day of Badr
قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ، يَبْكِي زَمْعَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَقَتْلَى بَنِي أَسَدٍ: عَيْنُ بَكِّي بِالْمُسْبِلَاتِ أَبَا الْحَ ارِثِ لَا تَذْخَرِي عَلَى زَمْعَهْ وَابْكِي عَقِيلَ بْنَ أَسْوَدَ أَسَدَ الْ يَوْمِ الْهِيَاجِ وَالدَّفَعَهْ تِلْكَ بَنُو أَسَدٍ إخْوَةِ الْجَوْ زَاءِ لَا خَانَةٌ وَلَا خَدَعَهْ هُمْ الْأُسْرَةُ الْوَسِيطَةُ مِنْ كَعْبٍ وَهُمْ ذِرْوَةُ السَّنَامِ وَالْقَمَعَهْ أَنْبَتُوا مِنْ مَعَاشِرِ شَعَرَ الْ رَّأْسِ وَهُمْ أَلْحَقُوهُمْ الْمَنَعَهْ أَمْسَى بَنُو عَمِّهِمْ إذَا حَضَرَ الْبَأْ سُ أَكْبَادُهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَجِعَهْ وَهُمْ الْمُطْعِمُونَ إذْ قَحَطَ الْقَطْ رُ وَحَالَتْ فَلَا تَرَى قَزَعَهْ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ لِهَذَا الشِّعْرِ مُخْتَلِطَةٌ، لَيْسَتْ بِصَحِيحَةِ الْبِنَاءِ، لَكِنْ أَنْشَدَنِي أَبُو مُحْرِزٍ خَلَفُ الْأَحْمَرُ وَغَيْرُهُ، رَوَى بَعْضٌ مَا لَمْ يَرْوِ بَعْضٌ: عَيْنُ بَكِّي بِالْمُسْبَلَاتِ أَبَا الْحَا رِثِ لَا تَذْخَرِي عَلَى زَمْعَهْ وَعَقِيلَ بْنَ أَسْوَدَ أَسَدَ الْبَأْ سِ لِيَوْمِ الْهِيَاجِ وَالدَّفَعَهْ فَعَلَى مِثْلِ هُلْكِهِمْ خَوَتْ الْجَوْ زَاءُ، لَا خَانَةٌ وَلَا خَدَعَهْ وهُمْ الْأُسْرَةُ الْوَسِيطَةُ مِنْ كَعْبٍ وَفِيهِمْ كَذِرْوَةِ الْقَمَعَهْ أَنْبَتُوا مِنْ مَعَاشِرَ شَعَرَ الرَّأَ، وَهُمْ أَلْحَقُوهُمْ الْمَنَعَهْ فَبَنُو عَمِّهِمْ إذَا حَضَرَ الْبَأْ سُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَكْبَادُهُمْ وَجِعَهْ وَهُمْ الْمُطْعِمُونَ إذْ قَحَطَ الْقَطْرُ وَحَالَتْ فَلَا تَرَى قَزَعَهْ
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: Umayyah b. Abī al-Ṣalt said, weeping for Zamʿah b. al-Aswad and the slain of Banū Asad: “Eye, weep with flowing tears for Abū al-Ḥārith; do not withhold [tears] for Zamʿah. And weep for ʿAqīl b. Aswad, the lion of the day of battle and the charge. Those are Banū Asad, brothers of al-Jawzāʾ—no treachery and no deceit. They are the middle family of Kaʿb, and they are the peak of the hump and the foremost. They sprang from clans [whose honor is like] the hair of the head, and they attached to them [the quality of] protection. The sons of their paternal uncle, when war is present, their livers are pained for them. And they are the feeders when the rain withholds and [the clouds] pass away, so you see no small cloud.” Ibn Hishām said: This narration of this poetry is mixed up, not of sound construction. But Abū Muḥriz Khalaf al-Aḥmar and others recited to me, some relating what others did not: “Eye, weep with flowing tears for Abū al-Ḥārith; do not withhold [tears] for Zamʿah. And for ʿAqīl b. Aswad, the lion of war, for the day of battle and the charge. For the like of their destruction al-Jawzāʾ became empty—no treachery and no deceit. They are the middle family of Kaʿb, and among them is like the peak of the foremost. They sprang from clans [whose honor is like] the hair of the head, and they attached to them [the quality of] protection. The sons of their paternal uncle, when war is present, their livers are pained for them. And they are the feeders when the rain withholds and [the clouds] pass away, so you see no small cloud.”
