{{Quote|Ishaq:572|Muhammad is the man, an Apostle of my Lord. Evil was the state of our enemy so they lost the day. Fortunes change and we came upon them like lions from the thickets. The armies of Allah came openly, flying at them in rage, so they could not get away. We destroyed them and forced them to surrender. In the former days there was no battle like this; their blood flowed freely. We slew them and left them in the dust. Those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude of them were slain. This is Allah’s war in which those who do not accept Islam will have no helper. War destroyed the tribe and fate the clan.}}

Mirdas al-Sulami, mentioning Qarib b. al-Aswad and his flight from his father's sons, and Dhu'l-Khimar and his shutting up his
people to death, said:
:Who will tell Ghaylan and 'Urwa from me
:(I think one who knows will come to him).
:I send to tell you something
:Which is different from what you say which will go round
:That Muhammad is a man, an apostle to my Lord
:Who errs not, neither does he sin.
:We have found him a prophet like Moses,
:Any who would rival him in goodness must fail.
:Evil was the state of the B. Qasiy in Wajj
:When each one's affairs were decreed.
:They lost the day (and every people has a ruler
:And fortunes change).
:We came on them like lions of the thickets,
:The armies of God came openly.
:We came at the main body of B. Qasiy
:Almost flying at them in our rage.
:Had they stayed I swear we would have come at them
:With armies and they would not have got away.
:We were as lions of Liya there until we destroyed them
:And al-Nusur were forced to surrender.
:There was a day before that day at Hunayn which is past
:And blood then flowed freely.
:In former days there was no battle like this;
:Men of long memories have never heard of such.
:We slew B. Hutayt in the dust by their flags
:While the cavalry turned away.
:Dhu'l-Khimar was not the chief of a people
:Who possessed intelligence to blame or disapprove.
:He led them on the road to death
:As everyone could see.
:Those who escaped were choked with terror,
:A multitude of them were slain.
:The languid man could not help in such a case
:Nor he who was too shy and hesitant to attack.
:He destroyed them and he perished himself.
:They had given him the leadership and the leaders fled.
:Banu 'Auf's horses went at a fair pace
:Fed on fresh grass and barley.
:But for Qarib and his father's sons
:The fields and castles would have been divided,
:But they attained prominence
:By the lucky advice they were given.
:They obeyed Qarib and they had good fortune
:And good sense that brought them glory.
:If they are guided to Islam they will be found
:Leaders of men while time lasts.
:If they do not accept it they call
:For God's war in which they will have no helper.
:As war destroyed the B. Sa'd
:And fate the clan of B. Ghaziya.
:The B. Mu'awiya b. Bakr
:Were like a flock of sleep coming bleating to Islam.
:We said, 'Be Muslims; we are your brethren,
:For our breasts arc free from enmity.'
:When the people came to us they seemed
:Blind to hatred after peace had come.}}


{{Quote|Ishaq:574|In faith I do not fear the army of fate. He gave us the blood of their best men to drink when we led our army against them. We are a great army with a pungent smell. And we attack continuously, wherever our enemy is found.}}

Durayd said of Rabi'a's killing him:
:l' faith I did not fear the army of fate
:On Durayd's account in the valley of Sumayra.
:God repay the B. Sulaym for him
:And may ingratitude rend them for what they have done.
:May He give us the blood of their best men to drink
:When we lead an army against them.
:Many a calamity did you avert from them
:When they were at the point of death.
:Many a noble woman of theirs did you free
:And others you loosed from bonds.
:Many a man of Sulaym named you noble
:As he died when you had answered his call.
:Our reward from them is ingratitude and grief
:Which melts our very bones.
:May the traces of your cavalry after hard travel
:In Dhu Baqar as far as the desert of al-Nuhaq be effaced!}}
