- 7th century CE, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, 44:225:
  قَالَ حَسَّانُ
  هَجَوْتَ مُحَمَّدًا فَأَجَبْتُ عَنْهُ وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ فِي ذَاكَ الْجَزَاءُ
  هَجَوْتَ مُحَمَّدًا بَرًّا تَقِيًّا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شِيمَتُهُ الْوَفَاءُ
  فَإِنَّ أَبِي وَوَالِدَهُ وَعِرْضِي لِعِرْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْكُمْ وِقَاءُ
  ثَكِلْتُ بُنَيَّتِي إِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا تُثِيرُ النَّقْعَ مِنْ كَنَفَيْ كَدَاءِ
  يُبَارِينَ الأَعِنَّةَ مُصْعِدَاتٍ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهَا الأَسَلُ الظِّمَاءُ
  تَظَلُّ جِيَادُنَا مُتَمَطِّرَاتٍ تُلَطِّمُهُنَّ بِالْخُمُرِ النِّسَاءُ
  qāla ḥassānu
  hajawta muḥammadan faʔajabtu ʕanhu waʕinda l-lahi fī ḏāka l-jazāʔu
  hajawta muḥammadan barran taqiyyan rasūla l-lahi šīmatuhu l-wafāʔu
  faʔinna ʔabī wawālidahu waʕirḍī liʕirḍi muḥammadin minkum wiqāʔu
  ṯakiltu bunayyatī ʔin lam tarawhā tuṯīru n-naqʕa min kanafay kadāʔi
  yubārīna l-ʔaʕinnata muṣʕidātin ʕalā ʔaktāfihā l-ʔasalu ẓ-ẓimāʔu
  taẓallu jiyādunā mutamaṭṭirātin tulaṭṭimuhunna bi-l-ḵumuri n-nisāʔu
  Thus said Hassān,
  "You railed against Muḥammad. I struck back for him. With God, and God alone, is my reward:
  You railed against the dutiful and pious—him, the Prophet, whose great mark is faithfulness.
  My father and my father's father and my name, they are, for him, a shield from you!
  So may I lose my little one if you do not see them kicking up dust about Kadāʾ!
  Outracing straps and reins, charging onward, on their backs are thirsting spearheads and tips and blades!
  Our troops—they shall stream through, and your women with their scarves and veils shall scuttle to flap them back!
