:Who will send a messenger from me | |||
:With news that a shrewd man will confirm? | |||
:Do not you know how I kept returning to the fight at Badr | |||
:When the swords flashed around you, | |||
:When the army's leaders were left prostrate, | |||
:their heads like slices of melon? | |||
:A gloomy fate, to the people's hurt, | |||
:Came upon you in the valley of Badr; | |||
:My resolution saved them from disaster | |||
:And God's help and a well-conceived plan. | |||
:I returned alone from al-Abwa' | |||
:When you were surrounded bv the enemy | |||
:Helpless, if anyone attacked you | |||
:Wounded and bleeding by the side of Kurash. | |||
:Whenever a comrade in distress called | |||
:For my aid in an evil day | |||
:A brother or ally in such case, | |||
:Much as I love my life I answered his call. | |||
:I returned to the fray, dispelling gloom, | |||
:And shot when faces showed hostility. | |||
:Many an adversary have I left on the ground | |||
:To rise painfully like a broken twig. | |||
:When battle was joined I dealt him a blow | |||
:That drew blood-his arteries murmured aloud: | |||
:That is what I did on the day of Badr. | |||
:Before that I was resourceful and steadfast, | |||
:Your brother as you know in war and famine | |||
:Whose evils are ever with us, | |||
:Your champion undaunted by darkest night or superior numbers. | |||
:Out into the bitter black might I plunged | |||
:When the freezing wind forces dogs to shelter.}} | |||
{{Quote|{{Tabari|7|p. 81}}|The next day I went to the Prophet. He was sitting with Abu Bakr, and they were weeping. I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, tell me, what has made you weep? If I find cause to weep, I will weep with you, and if not, I will pretend to weep because you are weeping.’ The Prophet said, ‘It is because of the taking of ransoms. It was laid before me that I should punish them instead.’ Allah revealed: ‘It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land.’ After that Allah made booty lawful for them.}} | {{Quote|{{Tabari|7|p. 81}}|The next day I went to the Prophet.
