وكان مع الناس نساؤهم، وكانت مع النخع سبعمائة امرأة فارغة

(The women of the Muslims were with them" seven hundred women were with the tribe of al-Nakha

وكان بكير بْن عبد اللَّه الليثي وعتبة بْن فرقد السلمي وسماك بْن خرشة الأنصاري- وليس بأبي دجانة- قد خطبوا امرأة يوم القادسية

Bukayr b. 'Abdallah al-Laythi and 'Utbah b. Farqad al-Sulami and Simak b. Kharashah al-Ansari (who is not the man known as Abu Dujanah) asked a woman in marriage on the Day of al-Qadisiyyah

كَتَبَ إلي السري، عن شعيب، عن سيف، عن مُحَمَّد والمهلب وطلحة، قالوا

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—Muhammad, al-Muhallab, and Talhah

فلاقوا بأسا بعد ذلك شديدا

Then after that they encountered great adversity

وإنما جرأهم على الانتقال بأثقالهم توطئة خالد، والمثنى بعد خالد، وأبي عبيد بعد المثنى، وأهل الأيام

The fact that Khalid, followed by al-Muthanna, Abu 'Ubayd, and the participants of the former battles, prepared the way encouraged them to travel with their belongings

وكانت النخع تسمى أصهار المهاجرين، وبجيلة

Al-Nakha' and Bajilah were called the kinsmen of the Emigrants

فصاهر هؤلاء الف من احياء العرب، وهؤلاء سبعمائة

One thousand men from the Arab tribes married the latter and seven hundred the former

وكان في النخع سبعمائة امرأة فارغة، وفي بجيلة ألف

In the tribe of al-Nakhac there were seven hundred unmarried women; in Bajilah there were one thousand

لم يكن من قبائل العرب أحد أكثر امرأة يوم القادسية من بجيلة والنخع

No Arab tribe had more women present on the Day of al-Qadisiyyah than Bajilah and al-Nakha

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، عن عطية- وهو ابن الحارث- عمن أدرك ذلك، قال

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—‘Afiyyah, who is Ibn alHarith — a person who lived through these events

نوليهم ذلك، ونصرفهم به

We charged them with this task and gave them a free hand to do it

وتبعنا الصبيان

The youngsters followed us

فما كان من المسلمين سقيناه ورفعناه، وما كان من المشركين أجهزنا عليه

To those who were Muslims we gave water and we lifted them; those who were polytheists, we finished them off

ثم أتينا القتلى

Then we came to the mortally wounded men "lying on the battlefield

فلما أتانا أن قد فرغ من الناس شددنا علينا ثيابنا، وأخذنا الهراوى

When he heard that the Muslims had finished "the fighting", we fastened our clothes and armed ourselves with sticks

شهدنا القادسية مع سعد مع أزواجنا

We were present at the battle of al-Qadisiyyah with Sa‘d and with our husbands

كتب إلي السري، عن شعيب، عن سيف، عن سليمان بْن بشير، عن أم كثير، امرأة همام بْن الحارث النخعي، قالت

According to al-Sari — Shu'ayb — Sayf — Sulayman b. Bashir — Umm Kathir, the wife of Hammam b. al-Harith al-Nakha‘i

ولو أعراه الصف فواق ناقه أخذ برمته، فو الله ما أكرثه هول تلك الأيام ولا أقلقه

If "those in" the battle lines had exposed it even for a short while, it would have been captured in its entirety, but by God, the terror of these days did not cause him distress nor anxiety

إنه نزل قصرا غير حصين بين الصفين، فأشرف منه على الناس

He stayed in an unfortified castle between the battle lines and observed the Muslims

كان سعد بْن مالك أجرأ الناس وأشجعهم

Sa‘d b. Malik was the most courageous and the bravest man

كتب إلي السري، عن شعيب، عن سيف، عن القاسم بْن سليم بْن عبد الرحمن السعدي، عن عثمان بْن رجاء السعدي، قال

According to al-Sari — Shu'ayb — Sayf—al-Qasim b. Sulaym b. ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di — ‘Uthman b. Raja5 al-Sa'di

وَمَا أَرْجُو بَجِيلَةَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي ... أُؤَمَّلُ أَجْرَهَا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ وَقَدْ لَقِيَتْ خُيُولُهُمْ خُيُولا ... وَقَدْ وَقَعَ الْفَوَارِسُ فِي الضِّرَابِ فَلَوْلا جَمْعُ قَعْقَاعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ... وَحَمَّالٍ لَلَجُّوا فِي الْكِذَابِ هُمُ مَنَعُوا جُمُوعَكُمُ بِطَعْنٍ ... وَضَرْبٍ مِثْلَ تَشْقِيقِ الإِهَابِ وَلَوْلا ذَاكَ أَلْفَيْتُمْ رِعَاعًا ... تُشَلُّ جُمُوعُكُمْ مِثْلَ الذُّبَابِ

I do not wish Bajilah anything except that they be rewarded on the Day of Reckoning. Their horses were confronted with horses, and "their" horsemen were engaged in combat. Had it not been for the troops of Qa'qa' b. 'Amr and Hammal, they would have been inexorably drawn into retreat. They defended your troops by stabbing and hitting, ripping the skin open. Had it not been for that, you would have been branded as riffraff, and your troops disabled like flies

فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ، فَقَالَ

Sa'd looked at him and said

أَنَا جَرِيرٌ كُنْيَتِي أَبُو عَمْرِو ... قَدْ نَصَرَ اللَّهُ وَسَعْدٌ فِي الْقَصْر

I am Jarir and my agnomen (kunyah) is Abu 'Amr,God granted victory while Sa'd was in the castle

قَالَ جَرِيرٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ

Jarir recited on that day

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ الْحَارِثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—al-Miqdam b. Shurayh alHarithi—his father

فَمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَةٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ

Half of his tongue withered and he did not utter another word till his death

إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ نُشَّابَةٌ لِدَعْوَةِ سَعْدٍ، حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ فِي لِسَانِهِ فَيَبُسَ شِقُّهُ

An arrow flew at him in response to Sa'd's prayer and hit his tongue

قَالَ قبيصة" فو الله إِنَّهُ لَوَاقِفٌ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ يَوْمَئِذٍ

Qabl§ah said" "By God, one day the poet was standing between the battle lines

فَاقْطَعْ عَنِّي لِسَانَهُ وَيَدَهُ

"I pray you", cut off his tongue and hand, so that he does not harm me anymore

فَقَالَ" اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا، أَوْ قَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً وَكَذِبًا

He said" "O God, the poet is a liar; or he has said what he said out of hypocrisy, out of desire for fame and out of falsehood

فَبَعَثَ بِهَا فِي النَّاسِ، فَبَلَغَتْ سَعْدًا

The poem spread among the people and came to Sa'd's knowledge

نُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ نَصْرَهُ ... وَسَعْدٌ بِبَابِ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ مُعْصَمُ فَأُبْنَا وَقَدْ آمَتْ نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرَةٌ ... وَنِسْوَةُ سَعْدٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ أَيِّمُ

We were fighting until God granted His victory, while Sa'd took refuge at the gate of al-Qadisiyyah. We returned after many women had been widowed, but there is no widow among the wives of Sa'd

قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَوْمَ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ مَعَ الْفَتْحِ

A man from among us recited on the Day of alQadisiyyah, when victory was attained

كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ السَّرِيُّ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ

According to al-Sari—Shu'ayb—Sayf—cAbd al-Malik b. Umayr— Qabi?ah b. Jabir

ذكر أحوال أهل السواد

An Account of the People of the Lowlands (ahl alsawad

الا ليتنى والمرء سعد بن مالك ... وربراء وَابْنُ السِّمْطِ فِي لُجَّةِ الْبَحْرِ

I wish I were with Sa‘d b. Malik, with Zabra’, and with Ibn al-Simt in the midst of the sea

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ فِيهِ الشَّاعِرُ

He is the man about whom a poet recited

وَاسْتَعْمَلَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَلَى الْمَدَائِنِ رَجُلا مِنْ كِنْدَةَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ السِّمْطِ

Sa‘d b. Abi Waqqas appointed a man from Kindah, whose name was Shurahbil b. al-Simt, to be the governor of alMada’in

وَبَعَثَ فِيهَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ السُّلَمِيَّ إِلَى حِمْصَ، فَفَتَحَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ

In the same year Abu ‘Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah sent Hanzalah b. al-Tufayl al-Sulami to Him?; God enabled him to conquer this city

وَفُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِيلِياءُ، مَدِينَةُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ

He was given victory overy Iliya, the city of Jerusalem |madinat bayt al-maqdis

وَقَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ خَرَجَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَنَزَلَ الْجَابِيَةَ

‘Umar b. al-Khattab set out this year for Syria and encamped at alJabiyah

فَارْتَادَ لَهُمْ مَوْضِعَ الْكُوفَةِ الْيَوْمَ، فَنَزَلَهَا سَعْدٌ بِالنَّاسِ، وَخَطَّ مَسْجِدَهَا، وَخَطَّ فِيهَا الْخُطَطَ لِلنَّاسِ

He chose for them the place in which al-Kufah stands today and established the mosque and the settlement quarters (khtyat) for the Muslims

فَبَعَثَ سَعْدٌ رَجُلا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ- وَيُقَالُ" بَلْ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ، أَخَا بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ

Sa‘d sent a man from the Helpers, whose name was al-Harith b. Salamah "according to another account, he sent ‘Uthman b. Hunayf, a confederate of Banu ‘Amr b. ‘Awf

قَالَ" فَسَارَ سَعْدٌ حَتَّى نَزَلَ كُوَيْفَةَ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدٍ، فَلَمْ تُوَافِقِ النَّاسَ مَعَ الذُّبَابِ وَالْحُمَّى

So Sa‘d went forth and halted at Kuwayfat ‘Umar b. Sa‘d,‘ but it was not suitable for the Muslims because of the flies and the fever

فَانْظُرْ فَلاةً فِي جَنْبِ الْبَحْرِ فَارْتَدْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ بِهَا مَنْزِلا

Find a plain next to the river and seek a place for the Muslims in it

فَكَتَبَ سَعْدٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ يُخْبِرُهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ لا تَصْلُحُ الْعَرَبُ إِلا حَيْثُ يَصْلُحُ الْبَعِيرُ وَالشَّاةُ فِي مَنَابِتِ الْعُشْبِ

Sa‘d wrote to ‘Umar informing him of this, and ‘Umar replied thus to Sa‘d" "No place is suitable for the Arabs except grassland that suits their camels and sheep

وَأَصَابَتْهُمْ بِهَا الْحُمَّى، فَلَمْ تُوَافِقْهُمْ

They were afflicted with fever, and the place was not suitable for them

فَنَزَلَ سَعْدٌ بِالنَّاسِ الأَنْبَارَ، فَاجْتَوَوْهَا

Sa'd set-tied the Muslims in al-Anbar, but they did not like it

وَلا تَجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَحْرًا

Do not place a great river (balfr) between me and the Muslims

وَاتَّخِذْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ دَارَ هِجْرَةٍ وَمَنْزِلَ جِهَادٍ

Establish for the Muslims a place where they can migrate "and settle" (dar hijrah) and from which they can wage holy war

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ" أَنْ قِفْ مَكَانَكَ وَلا تَتْبَعْهُمْ

Umar wrote again to Sa'd" "Stay where you are and do not follow them

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ سعد أيضا" انما هي سربه أَدْرَكْنَاهَا وَالأَرْضُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا

Sa‘d wrote back to him" "This is nothing but a small band of horsemen whom we have pursued; the land is before us

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ" أَنْ قِفْ وَلا تَطْلُبُوا غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ

Umar wrote to him" "Halt and do not seek further conquest

كَتَبَ سَعْدٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِمَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

Then Sa'd wrote to TJmar about the victory that God granted to the Muslims

يَا رُبَّ مُهْرٍ حَسَنٍ مُطَهَّمْ ... يَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَ الْغُلامِ الْمُسْلِمْ يَنْجُو إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ جَهَنَّمْ ... يَوْمَ جَلُولاءَ ويوم رستم ويوم زحف الكوفة المقدم ... ويوم لاقَى ضِيقَةً مُهْزَمْ وَخَرَّ دِينُ الْكَافِرِينَ لِلْفَمْثُمَّ

Many a nice, well-shaped foal, carries the loads of a Muslim boy. He takes refuge from hell in the Merciful God, on the day of Jalula1 and the day of Rustam. On the day of the march on al-Kufah he is in the vanguard, on the day he encounters adversity he is defeated. The religion of the infidels fell down, lying on its face

وَقَالَ شَاعِرٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

A poet of the Muslims recited

وَأُصِيبَتِ ابْنَةٌ لِكِسْرَى، يُقَالُ لَهَا مِنْجَانَةَ، وَيُقَالُ" بَلِ ابْنَةُ ابْنِهِ

A daughter of the Persian king whose name was Manjanah was killed there, but according to another account, it was his son's daughter

وَأَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِهَا مِنَ الْفَيْءِ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا أَصَابُوا بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ

In Jalula' the Muslims took more valuable spoils than in al-Qadisiyyah

فَكَانَتْ وَقْعَةُ جَلُولاءَ بِهَا، فَهَزَمَ اللَّهُ الْفُرْسَ

There the battle of Jalula’ took place, and God defeated the Persians

ثُمَّ لَحِقَ سَعْدٌ بِالنَّاسِ، حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا إِلَى جَلُولاءَ وَبِهَا جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْفُرْسِ

Then Sa'd joined the army and they reached Jalula', where a Persian unit was situated

فَلَمَّا أَجَازَ أَلاحَ لِلنَّاسِ بِسَيْفِهِ، فَعَرَفَ النَّاسُ أَنْ لَيْسَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ يَخَافُونَهُ، فَأَجَازَ بِهِمْ خَالِدُ بْنُ عُرْفُطَةَ

When he moved across it, he made a sign with his sword to the Muslims; they learned thereby that there was nothing to be afraid of. Khalid b. ‘Urfufah led them across

فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ دَخَلَهُ بِجَيْشِهِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ

The first person to enter it with his troops was Hashim b. ‘Utbah

فَتَرَدَّدَ النَّاسُ، وَجَبُنُوا عَنْهُ

Hence they hesitated and were afraid to enter it

ثُمَّ سَارُوا حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا إِلَى مُظْلِمِ سَابَاطَ، فَأَشْفَقَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ كَمِينٌ لِلْعَدُوِّ

The Muslims then marched on and reached Muslim Sabat but were apprehensive that an enemy ambush might be located there

فَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُهْتَدَ لِتِلْكَ الْمَخَاضَةِ بَعْدُ

It has been claimed that this crossing point was not used afterward

ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ فَخَاضُوا حَتَّى أَجَازُوا

Then the Muslims followed one after the other, waded through the river, and crossed it

ثُمَّ أَجَازَ خَالِدُ بْنُ عُرْفُطَةَ بِخَيْلِهِ، ثُمَّ أَجَازَ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ بِخَيْلِهِ

Then Khalid b. ‘Urfutah crossed with his horsemen, followed by ‘Iyad b. Ghanm and his horsemen

فَلَمَّا جَازَ اتَّبَعَتْهُ خَيْلُهُ

Having crossed the river, he was followed by his horsemen

فكان أول من خاض المخاضة هاشم ابن عُتْبَةَ فِي رَجْلِهِ

The first man to cross was Hashim b. ‘Utbah with his infantrymen

حَتَّى أَتَى سَعْدًا عِلْجٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدَائِنِ، فَقَالَ" أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى طَرِيقٍ تُدْرِكُونَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْعِنُوا فِي السَّيْرِ! فَخَرَجَ بِهِمْ عَلَى مَخَاضَةٍ بِقُطْرَبُّلَ

Then a Persian from the people of al-Mada’in came to Sa'd and said" "I will show you a way by which you can catch up with them before they go far," and he took them to a crossing point at Qatrabbul

فَلَمَّا وَضَعُوا عَلَى دِجْلَةَ الْعَسْكَرَ وَالأَثْقَالَ طَلَبُوا الْمَخَاضَةَ، فَلَمْ يَهْتَدُوا لَهَا

When they encamped on the bank of the Ti-gris and put down their luggage, they looked for a crossing point but could not find it

فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ سَعْدٌ مِنْ وَجَعِهِ ذَلِكَ اتَّبَعَ النَّاسَ بِمَنْ بَقِيَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُمْ دُونَ دِجْلَةَ عَلَى بَهُرَسِيرَ

When he partially recovered, he followed the troops together with the Muslims who had been with him and caught up with them on this side of the Tigris, near Bahurasir

وَتَخَلَّفَ سَعْدٌ لِمَا بِهِ مِنَ الْوَجَعِ

Sa'd himself remained behind because of the pain with which he was afflicted

وَجَعَلَ عَلَى مُقَدِّمَةِ النَّاسِ هَاشِمَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَعَلَى مَيْمَنَتِهِمْ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيَّ، وَعَلَى مَيْسَرَتِهِمْ زَهْرَةَ بْنَ حَوِيَّةَ التَّمِيمِيَّ

He appointed Hashim b. ‘Utbah b. Abi Waqqas to lead the Muslim vanguard, Jarir b. ‘Abdallah al-Bajali to lead the right wing, and Zuhrah b. Hawiyyah al-Tamimi to lead the left wing

فَبَعَثَ خَالِدَ بْنَ عُرْفُطَةَ حَلِيفَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ، وَوَجَّهَ مَعَهُ عِيَاضَ بْنَ غَنْمٍ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ

He dispatched Khalid b. ‘Urfutah, who was a confederate of the Banu Umayyah, and sent with him ‘Iyad b. Ghanm and his companions

وَخَلَّوْا مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ، وَأَتْبَعَهُمْ سَعْدٌ الطَّلَبَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

They left everything else behind. Sa'd sent after them Muslim troops in order to seek them out

وَاحْتَمَلُوا مَعَهُمُ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَالدِّيبَاجَ وَالْفِرْنَدَ وَالْحَرِيرَ وَالسِّلاحَ وَثِيَابَ كِسْرَى وَبَنَاتَهُ

They took with them the gold, the silver, the brocade, the clothes, the silk, the weapons, the garments of the king and his daughters

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْفُرْسَ هَرَبَتْ مِنْ دَيْرِ قُرَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدَائِنِ يُرِيدُونَ نَهَاوَنْدَ

The Persians fled from Dayr Qurrah to al-Mada’in, on their way to Nihawand

وَمَا أَرْجُو بَجِيلَةَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي ... أُؤَمَّلُ أَجْرَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ فَقَدْ لَقِيَتْ خُيُولُهُمْ خُيُولا ... وَقَدْ وَقَعَ الْفَوَارِسُ فِي ضِرَابِ وَقَدْ دَلَفَتْ بِعَرْصَتِهِمْ فُيُولٌ ... كَأَنَّ زُهَاءَهَا إِبِلٌ جِرَابِ

I do not wish Bajilah anything except that they be rewarded on the Day of Reckoning. Their horses were confronted with horses, and "their" horsemen were engaged in combat. The elephants drew near the ground held by them, looking like scabby camels

فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يُجِيبُ جَرِيرًا فِيمَا قَالَ

Sa'd recited in response to the verses of Jarir

فَعَذَرَهُ النَّاسُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سَعْدٌ لَعَمْرِي يَجْبُنُ

Consequently, the Muslims excused him; I swear by my life that Sa'd was not considered a coward

قَالَ" وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمَا سَعْدًا، خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَرَاهُمْ مَا بِهِ مِنَ الْقَرْحِ فِي فَخِذَيْهِ وَأَلْيَتَيْهِ

"Qays b. Abi Hazim al-Bajali" said" When the verses came to Sa'd's knowledge, he went out to the Muslims, excused himself and showed them the ulcers which he had on his thighs and on his buttocks

وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَيْضًا

Another Muslim said also

أَنَا جَرِيرٌ كُنْيَتِي أَبُو عَمْرِو ... قَدْ نَصَرَ اللَّهُ وَسَعْدٌ فِي الْقَصْرِ

I am Jarir, and my agnomen (kunyah) is Abu ‘Amr; God granted victory while Sa'd was in the castle

وقال جرير ابن عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

Jarir b. ‘Abdallah (al-Bajali) recited

وَسَعْدٌ وَجِعٌ مِنْ قرحته تلك

Sa'd was in pain because of his ulcers

فأسهم له سعد ولأصحابه مع الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيمَا أَصَابُوا بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ

Sa'd gave 'Iyaql and his companions a share in the spoils which the Muslims had taken at al-Qadisiyyah

وَقَدْ قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ بِدَيْرِ قُرَّةَ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ فِي مَدَدِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، وَهُمْ الف رجل

While in Dayr Qurrah they were joined by ‘Iyad b. Ghanm with his Syrian reinforcements, numbering one thousand men

وَنَهَضَ سَعْدٌ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِدَيْرِ قُرَّةَ عَلَى مَنْ هُنَالِكَ مِنَ الْفُرْسِ

Sa'd rushed with the Muslims and encamped in Dayr Qurrah facing the Persians who were there

وَانْهَزَمَتِ الْفُرْسُ، فَلَحِقُوا بِدَيْرِ قُرَّةَ وَمَا وَرَاءَهُ

The Persians were defeated and fled to Dayr Qurrah and beyond

وَلَحِقَ بِهِمْ فِرْسَانٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَهُمْ هُنَالِكَ، فَشَدَّ عَلَى جَالِنُوسَ زَهْرَةُ بْنُ حَوِيَّةَ التَّمِيمِيُّ فَقَتَلَهُ

Muslim horsemen caught up with them while they were in this place, and Zuhrah b. Hawiyyah al-Tamiml attacked al-Jalnus and killed him

وَخَرَجَ جَالِنُوسُ فَرَفَعُوا لَهُ كُرَةً فَهُوَ يَرْمِيهَا وَيَشُكُّهَا بِالنُّشَّابِ

Al-Jalnus stepped forward; they raised a ball for him and he started shooting at it and piercing it with arrows

ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ رَمْيِهِمْ، وَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ فِي الْعَرَبِ

Then they started to wonder why their archery was not effective against the Arabs

وَوَلَّتِ الْفُرْسُ فَاتَّبَعَهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَقْتُلُونَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَتِ الْفُرْسُ الْخَرَّارَةَ نَزَلُوا فَشَرِبُوا مِنَ الْخَمْرِ، وَطَعِمُوا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ

The Persians retreated and the Muslims went in their pursuit, killing them. When the Persians reached al-Kharrarah, they halted, drank wine, and ate
