Sirat Ibn Hisham 925
His denial of the report brought by the Messenger's two envoys about the killing of some of the polytheists
[ شِعْرُ كَعْبٍ فِي الرِّدِّ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ ] فَأَجَابَهَا كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا فَازْجُرُوا مِنْكُمْ سَفِيهًا لِتَسْلَمُوا عَنْ الْقَوْلِ يَأْتِي مِنْهُ غَيْرَ مُقَارِبِ أَتَشْتُمُنِي أَنْ كُنْتُ أَبْكِي بِعَبْرَةٍ لِقَوْمٍ أَتَانِي وُدُّهُمْ غَيْرَ كَاذِبِ فَإِنِّي لَبَاكٍ مَا بَقِيتُ وَذَاكِرٌ مَآثِرَ قَوْمٍ مَجْدُهُمْ بِالْجَبَاجِبِ لَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ كَانَتْ مُرَيْدٌ بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْ الشَّرِّ فَاحْتَالَتْ وُجُوهَ الثَّعَالِبِ فَحُقَّ مُرَيْدٌ أَنْ تُجَدَّ أُنُوفُهُمْ بِشَتْمِهِمْ حَيِيِّ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبِ وَهَبْتُ نَصِيبِي مِنْ مُرَيْدٍ لِجَعْدَرٍ وَفَاءً وَبَيْتُ اللَّهِ بَيْنَ الْأَخَاشِبِ
Translation
✧ [The poetry of Kaʿb in reply to Maymūnah] Kaʿb b. al-Ashraf answered her, saying: Now restrain a fool among you, that you may be safe from speech that comes from him far from the mark. Do you revile me because I weep with tears for a people whose love came to me, not false? For I shall weep as long as I live, and remember the glorious deeds of a people whose glory is in the assemblies. By my life, Murayd was in a place apart from evil, so it resorted to the ways of foxes. Murayd deserves that their noses be rubbed in the dust for their reviling of the best of Luʾayy b. Ghālib. I have given my share of Murayd to Jaʿdar in fulfillment—and by the House of God between al-Akhāshib.
