فدخلت خزاعة في عقد رسول اللّه صلّى اللّه عليه و آله و دخلت...

فدخلت خزاعة في عقد رسول اللّه صلّى اللّه عليه و آله و دخلت بنو بكر في عقد قريش و كان بين القبيلتين شر قديم، ثمّ وقعت فيما بعد بين بنى بكر و خزاعة مقاتلة فرفدت قريش بنى بكر بالسلاح و قاتل معهم من قريش من قاتل بالليل مستخفيا و كان من أعان بنى بكر على خزاعة بنفسه عكرمة بن أبي جهل و سهيل بن عمرو The (clan of) Khuza’a entered into an alliance of Rasool-Allah -saww , and clan of Bakr entered into an alliance of Quraysh, and there used to be ancient rivalry between the two tribes.

Then afterwards there occurred a battle between the clan of Bakr and (clan of) Khuza’a. Quraysh ran (to help) the clan of Bakr with the weapons and fought alongside them. From Quraysh were ones who fought at night, fearing, and ones who assisted the clan of Bakr against (clan of) Khuza’a personally were Ikrama Bin Abu Jahl, and Suhayl Bin Amro.

فركب عمرو بن سالم الخزاعيّ حتّى قدم على رسول اللّه صلّى اللّه عليه و آله المدينة فوقف عليه و هو في المسجد بين ظهرانى القوم Amro Bin Salam Al-Khuzai rode until he came to Rasool-Allah -saww at Al-Medina, and paused to him -saww , and he -saww was in the Masjid in the midst of the people. فقال: لاهم إني ناشد محمّدا حلف أبينا و أبيه الاتلد أ ان قريشا أخلفوك الموعدا و نقضوا ميثاقك الموكدا و قتلونا ركعا و سجدا He said (in prose), ‘I adjure to Muhammad -saww !

Our fathers and his -saww father -asws have vowed a long time ago. Quraysh have broken the promise and they have broken your -saww covenant, they agreed, and they killed us while we were in Ruku and Sajda’.

Then he -saww went on to wash and he -saww was saying: ‘We will not be helped if I -saww do not help the clan of Ka’ab, and they are a tribe of Amro Bin Salam’.
