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.}} | |||
