He next listed the martyrs of Uḥud, naming each man together with his father and tribe, as is his custom. Of the Emigrants he mentioned four—Hamzah, Muṣʿab ibn ʿUmayr, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jahsh, and Shammās ibn ʿUthmān (may Allah be pleased with them). From the Helpers he counted sixty-five men. Ibn Hishām later added five more, making them seventy in his reckoning. Ibn Isḥāq then recorded those of the idolaters who were slain: twenty-two men, likewise arranged by tribe.

I say: No idolater was taken prisoner except Abū ʿUzzah al-Jumaḥī, as al-Shāfiʿī and others relate. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had him executed in his presence, ordering al-Zubayr—some say ʿĀṣim ibn Thābit ibn Abī al-Aqlah—to strike off his head.

Section: The poetic exchanges between the believers and the unbelievers during the Battle of Uḥud
We cite the poetry of the unbelievers only so that we may set beside it the rejoinder found in the poetry of Islam, (1) making the reply more forceful to ears and minds and cutting off the pretext of the obstinate infidels. (2)

Imām Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq—may Allah have mercy on him—said:
Among the verses recited on the Day of Uḥud were those of Hubayrah ibn Abī Wahb al-Makhzūmī, who still followed the religion of his people, Quraysh:

(from the baṣīṭ metre)
1 What is this heavy worry that keeps visiting me at night—
Hind’s affection even as calamities race toward her?

2 All night Hind reproached and blamed me,
Yet war has drawn my kinsmen far from my side.

3 Gently, then; blame me not, for part of my nature
Is what you know full well—and I do not hide it.

4 I hasten to aid the sons of Kaʿb in all they are charged with,
Bearing the burden, the weighty loads I shoulder.

5 I have mounted my arms upon a lofty, nimble steed—
Tall and swift; when it gallops it rivals the wind.

6 As it runs it is like a wild ass across a level plain,
Unbridled, fleet, protecting those it escorts.

7 He comes from the line of Aʿwaj; the nobles delight in him,
Like a palm-trunk towering high above its climbs.

8 For him I have readied keen, thin-edged blades, well-selected
And flexible for the crises I may meet.

9 Together with a white sword, flawless as sound judgment,
Slung at my side—no defect can be seen in it.

10 We led Kinānah from the borders of Dhī Yaman,
Crossing the land wherever he drove them.

11 Kinānah asked, “Where are you taking us?”
“We head for the city of palms,” we said, “so march to it—
and to all who dwell therein!”

12 We are the horsemen on the Day of al-Jarr at Uḥud;
Maʿadd took fright, but we declared, “We shall go!” (3)

13 They quailed before sword-blows and honest, piercing thrusts
When they saw the onslaught and the flanks had closed in.
