al-Zubayr's account of the cause of the defeat
[ شِعْرُ حَسَّانَ فِي عَمْرَةِ الْحَارِثِيَّةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي شَأْنِ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَلْقَمَةَ الْحَارِثِيَّةِ وَرَفْعِهَا اللِّوَاءِ: إذَا عَضَلٌ سِيقَتْ إلَيْنَا كَأَنَّهَا جِدَايَةُ شِرْكٍ مُعْلِمَاتِ الْحَوَاجِبِ أَقَمْنَا لَهُمْ طَعْنًا مُبِيرًا مُنَكِّلًا وَحُزْنَاهُمْ بِالضَّرْبِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبِ فَلَوْلَا لِوَاءُ الْحَارِثِيَّةِ أَصْبَحُوا يُبَاعُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ بَيْعَ الْجَلَائِبِ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَهَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتُ فِي أَبْيَاتٍ لَهُ
Translation
✧ [Ḥassān's poetry concerning ʿAmrah al-Ḥārithiyyah] Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥassān b. Thābit said concerning the affair of ʿAmrah bt. ʿAlqamah al-Ḥārithiyyah and her raising of the banner: "When ʿAḍal were driven to us, as if she were a young gazelle of a hunting ground, marked by eyebrows, We made for them a destroying and exemplary thrust, and we grieved them with smiting from every side. Were it not for the banner of al-Ḥārithiyyah, they would have become sold in the markets as the sale of wretched slaves." Ibn Hishām said: These verses are among other verses of his.
