LessonsʿAmr ibn Kulthūm: Address to Abā Hind, Tribal Pride and the Mill of War (Verses 23–38)Quiz

وَأَنْزَلْنَا الْبُيُوتَ بِذِي طُلُوحٍ إِلَى الشَّامَاتِ نَنْفِي الْمُوعِدِينَا
We pitched our dwellings at Dhū Ṭulūḥ, moving toward the Shamāt district and driving away those who threatened us.

Al-buyūt here means tents or temporary dwellings rather than necessarily permanent houses. Dhū Ṭulūḥ and al-Shamāt function as place names in the movement of the group.

Nanfī al-mūʿidīnā describes pushing away those who threatened them. The boast now includes territorial movement and the ability to camp despite opposition.
