Abū Sufyān's manner of inciting Quraysh
[ أُسْلُوبُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فِي تَحْرِيضِ قُرَيْشٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لِأَصْحَابِ اللِّوَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ يُحَرِّضُهُمْ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ: يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، إنَّكُمْ قَدْ وَلَّيْتُمْ لِوَاءَنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَأَصَابَنَا مَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، وَإِنَّمَا يُؤْتَى النَّاسُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَايَاتِهِمْ إذَا زَالَتْ زَالُوا، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَكْفُونَا لِوَاءَنَا، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تُخَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ فَنَكْفِيكُمُوهُ، فَهَمُّوا بِهِ وَتُوَاعَدُوهُ، وَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ نُسْلِمُ إلَيْكَ لِوَاءَنَا، سَتَعْلَمُ غَدًا إذَا الْتَقَيْنَا كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ وَذَلِكَ أَرَادَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ. [ تَحْرِيضُ هِنْدَ وَالنِّسْوَةِ مَعَهَا ] فَلَمَّا الْتَقَى النَّاسُ، وَدَنَا بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، قَامَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ فِي النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي مَعَهَا، وَأَخَذْنَ الدُّفُوفَ يَضْرِبْنَ بِهَا خَلَفَ الرِّجَالِ، وَيُحَرِّضْنَهُمْ، فَقَالَتْ هِنْدُ فِيمَا تَقُولُ: وَيْهَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارْ وَيْهَا حُمَاةَ الْأَدْبَارْ ضَرْبًا بِكُلِّ بَتَّارْ وَتَقُولُ: إنْ تُقْبِلُوا نُعَانِقْ وَنَفْرِشُ النَّمَارِقْ أَوْ تُدْبِرُوا نُفَارِقْ فِرَاقَ غَيْرَ وَامِقْ [ شِعَارُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ] وَكَانَ شِعَارُ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ: أَمِتْ، أَمِتْ فِيمَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ
Translation
✧ Abū Sufyān's method in inciting Quraysh Ibn Isḥāq said: Abū Sufyān said to the banner-bearers of Banū ʿAbd al-Dār, inciting them thereby to fight: O Banū ʿAbd al-Dār, you bore our banner on the day of Badr, and what you saw befell us. People are only assailed from the direction of their banners: when they falter, they falter. Either you suffice us in bearing our banner, or make way between us and it, and we shall suffice you in that. They took offense at him and banded together against him, saying: We shall hand over our banner to you? Tomorrow, when we meet, you will see how we act. That was what Abū Sufyān wanted. Hind and the women with her incite When the people met and drew near one another, Hind bt. ʿUtbah arose among the women who were with her, and they took up tambourines, striking them behind the men and inciting them. Hind said among what she said: Woe to you, Banū ʿAbd al-Dār! Woe to you, defenders of the rear! Strike with every cutting sword! And she said: If you advance, we embrace you, and spread the cushions; Or if you retreat, we part from you, the parting of one who is not loving. The Muslims' watchword The watchword of the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ on the day of Uḥud was: "Amit, amit," according to what Ibn Hishām said.
