Kaʿb b. Mālik's poetry on the slaying of b. al-Ashraf
[ شِعْرُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فِي مَقْتَلِ ابْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَقَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: فَغُودِرَ مِنْهُمْ كَعْبٌ صَرِيعًا فَذَلَّتْ بَعْدَ مَصْرَعِهِ النَّضِيرُ عَلَى الْكَفَّيْنِ ثَمَّ وَقَدْ عَلَتْهُ بِأَيْدِينَا مُشْهَرَةٌ ذُكُورُ بِأَمْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ إذْ دَسَّ لَيْلًا إلَى كَعْبٍ أَخَا كَعْبٍ يَسِيرُ فَمَا كَرِهَ فَأَنْزَلَهُ بِمَكْرٍ وَمَحْمُودٌ أَخُو ثِقَةٍ جَسُورُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَهَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ فِي يَوْمِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ، سَأَذْكُرُهَا إنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فِي حَدِيثِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
Translation
✧ [The poetry of Kaʿb b. Mālik on the killing of Ibn al-Ashraf] Ibn Isḥāq said: Kaʿb b. Mālik said: Of them Kaʿb was left lying slain, and after his fall al-Naḍīr was humbled; upon the two hands there, and there had mounted him by our hands drawn swords, males, by Muḥammad's command when he sent by night to Kaʿb a brother of Kaʿb, journeying; he did not dislike it, so he brought him down by guile, and Maḥmūd a brother of trust, bold. Ibn Hishām said: These verses are in an ode of his on the day of Banū al-Naḍīr, which I shall mention, if God wills, in the account of that day.
