Sirat Ibn Hisham 924
His denial of the report brought by the Messenger's two envoys about the killing of some of the polytheists
[ شِعْرُ مَيْمُونَةَ فِي الرِّدِّ عَلَى كَعْبٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ بَنِي مُرَيْدٍ، بَطْنٌ مِنْ بَلِيٍّ، كَانُوا حَلْفَاءَ فِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ؛ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ: الْجَعَادِرَةُ، تُجِيبُ كَعْبًا - قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: اسْمُهَا مَيْمُونَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالشِّعْرِ يُنْكِرُ هَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتَ لَهَا، وَيُنْكِرُ نَقِيضَتَهَا لِكَعْبِ بْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ: تَحَنَّنَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ كُلَّ تَحَنُّنٍ يُبَكَّى عَلَى قَتْلَى وَلَيْسَ بِنَاصِبِ بَكَتْ عَيْنُ مَنْ يَبْكِي لِبَدْرٍ وَأَهْلُهُ وَعُلَّتْ بِمِثْلِيِّهَا لُؤَيُّ بْنُ غَالِبِ فَلَيْتَ الَّذِينَ ضُرِّجُوا بِدِمَائِهِمْ يَرَى مَا بِهِمْ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الْأَخَاشِبِ فَيَعْلَمُ حَقًّا عَنْ يَقِينٍ وَيُبْصِرُوا مَجَرَّهُمْ فَوْقَ اللِّحَى وَالْحَوَاجِبِ
Translation
✧ [A poem by Maymūnah in reply to Kaʿb] Ibn Isḥāq said: A woman of the Muslims from Banū Murayd, a branch of Balī, who were allies among Banū Umayyah b. Zayd—they are called al-Jaʿādirah—replied to Kaʿb. Ibn Isḥāq said: Her name was Maymūnah bt. ʿAbd Allāh, and most of the people of knowledge in poetry deny these verses to her and deny her counter-poem to Kaʿb b. al-Ashraf: This slave yearns with every yearning, wept over the slain, though he is not one who takes up the cause. The eye of him who weeps for Badr and its people shed tears, and Luʾayy b. Ghālib was afflicted with the like of it. Would that those who were stained with their blood might see what has befallen them—he who was among the al-Akhāshib— so that they might know truly, with certainty, and behold their dragging above the beards and the eyebrows.
