And the informer informed him that a tribe... had settled from Ḥarām or Judhām (1)
He means by his saying, "informed him": told him and notified him.
The discourse regarding the Interpretation of the statement of His mention: {"of these"}
Abū Jaʿfar said:
669 - Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr narrated to me, he said: Abū ʿĀṣim narrated to us, he said: ʿĪsā narrated to us—and al-Muthannā narrated to us, he said: Abū Ḥudhayfa narrated to us, he said: Shibl narrated to us, on the authority of Ibn Abī Najīḥ, on the authority of Mujāhid regarding the statement of God: "of these," he said: Of the names of these that I recounted to Adam.
670 - Al-Qāsim narrated to us, he said: Al-Ḥusayn narrated to us, he said: Ḥajjāj narrated to me, on the authority of Ibn Jurayj, on the authority of Mujāhid: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful," he says: Of the names of these that I recounted to Adam (2).
Notes
- (1) His Diwan: 87, from a poem of his regarding 'Amr ibn Hind, who had invaded the Levant after the killing of his father al-Mundhir. Abu 'Ubayda said: This poem belongs to 'Amr ibn al-Harith al-Ghassani regarding the invasion of Iraq. The narration of the Diwan is: "anna hayyan hululan" in the accusative case, as an adjective for "hayyan," and it is the good narration. The predicate of "anna" is omitted, as if he is saying: they have rallied together lying in wait for you. He omitted it to magnify the matter of their gathering and lying in wait. The verse that follows it indicates this, which is his statement:
And that the people, their support is united ... groups clamoring to groups
And the narration in the nominative case, is not bad, even though I do not consider it the best. And his statement: "Haram," it is as if he means Banu Haram ibn Dinna ibn 'Abd ibn Kabir ibn 'Udhra ibn Sa'd Hudhaym. Or it is as if he means Banu Haram ibn Judham ibn 'Adi ibn al-Harith ibn Murra ibn Udad ibn Zayd. The abode of Judham is the mountains of Hisma, and its land is between Ayla and the side of the wilderness of the Children of Israel that is adjacent to Ayla, and between the land of Banu 'Udhra from the back of the volcanic tract of Nahil (Mu'jam al-Buldan: Hisma). So because these Banu 'Udhra have their abodes close to Judham, I doubted who al-Nabigha meant by Banu Haram in this verse.
- (2) The two reports: 669, 670 - I did not find them anywhere.
