WHAT THE POETS SAID CONCERNING THE KHANDAQ AND BANU QURAIZAH
Al-Bukhari related that Al-Bara’ Ibn ‘Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, said, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to Hassan, may Allah be pleased with him: “Lampoon them for Jibraeel is with you.” It is also related from Al-Bara’ Ibn ‘Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to Hassan Ibn Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him, on the day of the incident of Banu Quraizah: “Lampoon the Mushrikeen for Jibraeel is with you.”
Ibn Ishaq, Allah have mercy on him, related: Dirar Ibn Al-Khattab Ibn Mirdas from Banu Maharib Ibn Fihr among the people said on the Day of Khandaq: that was prior to his acceptance of Islam:
They have tolerated several thoughts concerning us
While we had led strong battalions
Whose number is as great as Uhud
When its different sides appear to spectators
You will see the bodies of heroes fully harmed with impregnable shield
Branded horses like spears directed at misguided and sinful ones
In our hands are sharp swords with which we strike the
forelocks and (decide) matters
It is like a blazing (light) when it is bared in the hands
of its wielders
As the blazing of an agate in the night
You will see in it a clear gemstone
Were it not for the trench with him
We would have wreaked havoc on them all
Then Ka‘b Ibn Malik from Banu Salimah, may Allah be pleased with him, responded to him thus:
Questioner is asking what we encountered, if she had witnessed it, she
would have see us persevering
We were persevering not finding any equal for Allah
Over what befell us, we were reliant (on Allah)
We have a Prophet who is a truthful vizier
With him we shall overcome all the creation
We will fight against oppressive and disobedient folk
They were watching with enmity
On our right hands are light white (swords)
With which we deal with the exultation of
trouble makers
By the gate of the two trenches as if manned my lions
With fangs protecting the den
The people of Makkah know when they came by
Confederates came in groups
That Allah has no partner
And that Allah is the Protector of the believers
Even if you killed Sa‘d impudently
Allah is the best of the powerful
He will admit him into Excellent Gardens
Which will be an abode for the righteous
As you were repulsed in your anger, defeated, disgraced and
unsuccessful
A disgrace which denude you of any success there at
And you were on the verge of destruction
By a violent wind which descended on you
You were under it like the blind
By: Ibn Katheer
