Al-Nafaqa 'ala al-'IyalIbn Abi al-Dunya

276 – Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Thaqafi related to me that a Bedouin woman once rocked her little boy and sang:

May my father be the ransom for the visitor to his mother’s kin!
They have sworn that never have they begotten his equal;
so great is their love for him that they have already torn his tunic to pieces.

٢٧٦ - وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيَّةً رَقَّصَتِ ابْنًا لَهَا فَقَالَتْ: [البحر الرجز] بِأَبِي مِنْ زَائِرٍ أَخْوَالَهُ ... قَدْ حَلَفُوا مَا وَلَدُوا أَمْثَالَهُ مِنْ حُبِّهِ قَدْ خَرَّقُوا سِرْبَالَهُ "
