The affair of the Dīnārī woman
[ شَأْنُ الْمَرْأَةِ الدِّينَارِيَّةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِامْرَأَةِ مِنْ بَنِي دِينَارٍ، وَقَدْ أُصِيبَ زَوْجُهَا وَأَخُوهَا وَأَبُوهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأُحُدٍ، فَلَمَّا نُعُوا لَهَا، قَالَتْ: فَمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالُوا: خَيْرًا يَا أُمَّ فُلَانٍ، هُوَ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ كَمَا تُحِبِّينَ، قَالَتْ: أَرُونِيهِ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ إلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأُشِيرَ لَهَا إلَيْهِ، حَتَّى إذَا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ: كُلُّ مُصِيبَةٍ بَعْدَكَ جَلَلٌ تُرِيدُ صَغِيرَةً قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْجَلَلُ: يَكُونُ مِنْ الْقَلِيلِ، وَمِنْ الْكَثِيرِ، وَهُوَ هَاهُنَا مِنْ الْقَلِيلِ. قَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ فِي الْجَلَلِ الْقَلِيلِ: لَقَتْلُ بَنِي أَسَدٍ رَبَّهُمْ أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ سِوَاهُ جَلَلُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَأَمَّا قَوْلُ الشَّاعِرِ، وَهُوَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَعْلَةَ الْجَرْمِيُّ وَلَئِنْ عَفَوْتُ لَأَعْفُوَنَّ جَلَلًا وَلَئِنْ سَطَوْتُ لَأُوْهِنَنْ عَظْمِي ( فَهُوَ مِنْ الْكَثِيرِ )
Translation
✧ [The account of the woman from the Banū Dīnār] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Abī ʿAwn related to me, from Ismāʿīl b. Muḥammad, from Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ passed by a woman of the Banū Dīnār whose husband, brother, and father had been struck down alongside the Messenger of God ﷺ at Uḥud. When they were announced dead to her, she said: 'What then has happened to the Messenger of God ﷺ?' They said: 'He is well, O mother of so-and-so; he is, by God's praise, as you would wish.' She said: 'Show him to me so that I may look at him?' He said: So he was pointed out to her, until when she saw him she said: 'Every misfortune after you is jalā'—meaning small. Ibn Hishām said: al-jalā may be from the little and from the much, and here it is from the little. Imruʾ al-Qays said concerning al-jalā meaning little: 'The killing of the Banū Asad their lord— lo, everything other than him is jalā.' Ibn Hishām said: As for the poet's saying—and he is al-Ḥārith b. Waʿla al-Jarmī— 'If I pardon, I will surely pardon jalā, and if I strike, I will surely weaken my bone,' it is from the much.
