Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2599 — Poetry

وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا : رَحِمَ اللهُ لَبِيدًا ، قَالَ :
ذَهَبَ الَّذِينَ يُعَاشُ فِي أَكْنَافِهِمْ وَبَقِيتُ فِي خَلْفٍ كَجِلْدِ الْأَجْرَبِ فَكَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ : رَحِمَ اللهُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا ، فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَتْ زَمَانَنَا هَذَا .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said (mentioning the famous poet Labid bin Rabi'ah): May Allah Almighty have mercy on Labid ('Rahimallahu Labidan'), for he said:
"Gone are those noble and dignified people in whose shade and protection life was lived pleasantly, and now I am left behind among unworthy successors who are (in ugliness and contemptibility) like the skin of one afflicted with mange." (The narrator of the hadith, Hisham bin Urwah, says:) Then my father (Urwah bin al-Zubayr) would pray: May Allah Almighty send down His mercy upon Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) ('Rahimallahu A'ishah, radiyallahu anha'); what would her state have been had she seen this (corrupt) time of ours (that is, how greatly she would have disliked it)?
