Haydara, the son of our sheikh Abu al-Fath — may God sanctify him — wrote in verse:

I am of a folk whose swords are sharp when the mother of death [war] kindles.

But my pride is from Numayr, and I belong to ibn Nusayr, the one of magnificent majesty.

I am not a companion to Ishaq the little Red, rather, my inward secret is Shuaibite, so understand!
