Sirat Ibn Hisham 923
His denial of the report brought by the Messenger's two envoys about the killing of some of the polytheists
[ شِعْرُ حَسَّانَ فِي الرِّدِّ عَلَيْهِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَجَابَهُ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَقَالَ: أَبَكَى لِكَعْبٍ ثُمَّ عُلَّ بِعَبْرَةٍ مِنْهُ وَعَاشَ مُجَدَّعًا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بِبَطْنِ بَدْرٍ مِنْهُمْ قَتْلَى تَسُحُّ لَهَا الْعُيُونُ وَتَدْمَعُ فَابْكِي فَقَدْ أَبَكَيْتَ عَبْدًا رَاضِعًا شِبْهَ الْكُلَيْبِ إلَى الْكُلَيْبَةِ يَتْبَعُ وَلَقَدْ شَفَى الرَّحْمَنُ مِنَّا سَيِّدًا وَأَهَانَ قَوْمًا قَاتَلُوهُ وَصُرِّعُوا وَنَجَا وَأُفْلِتَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَلْبُهُ شَغَفٌ يَظَلُّ لِخَوْفِهِ يَتَصَدَّعُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَأَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالشِّعْرِ يُنْكِرُهَا لِحَسَّانَ. وَقَوْلُهُ أَبَكَى لِكَعْبِ عَنْ غَيْرِ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ
Translation
✧ [Ḥassān's poetry in reply to him] Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥassān b. Thābit al-Anṣārī answered him, saying: He wept for Kaʿb, then was afflicted with a tear from him, and lived mutilated, not hearing. And I saw at the bottom of Badr among them slain ones for whom eyes shed tears and weep. So weep, for you have made weep a suckling slave, like a little dog following the little bitch. The Merciful has sufficed us against a chief, and humiliated a people who fought him and were thrown down. And he who escaped and slipped away from them has a heart pierced with grief; he remains splitting apart from fear of it. Ibn Hishām said: Most of the people of knowledge in poetry deny these verses as being Ḥassān's. And his saying 'He wept for Kaʿb' is from other than Ibn Isḥāq.
