Hazrat Rabi’ bin Khuthaym narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam received an old Jewish woman as his share from the spoils of Nahawand. He took her and passed by a wealthy Jewish chief and said to him,“Will you buy her?”The chief spoke to the old woman and found out that she followed his religion. He asked,“For how much will you sell her?”Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam replied,“For four thousand.”The chief said,“I do not need her.”Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam swore that he would not reduce the price. Then the chief whispered to Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam and recited this verse of the Holy Qur’an: { وَإِنْ یَأْتُوکُمْ أُسَارَی تُفَادُوہُمْ } Then he asked,“Are you Abdullah bin Salam?”He replied,“Yes.”Then the chief said,“Either sell me this slave woman or leave your religion.”Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam said,“I have given her to you; give me whatever you wish from the price as a gift.”Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam took two thousand and returned two thousand to him.

Hazrat Humaid bin Abdur Rahman Humairi narrates that there was a companion whose name was "Hammah." During the time of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he set out towards Isfahan with the intention of jihad. In this expedition, he prayed: O Allah! Hammah believes that he loves to meet You. If Hammah is truthful, then make his truth manifest, and if he is lying, then also decide his matter, even if he dislikes it. O Allah! Do not send Hammah back from this journey. The narrator says that afterwards, he passed away in Isfahan. After his death, Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon and said in it: O people! According to the sayings of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and our knowledge, Hammah is a martyr.

Hazrat Alqamah narrates that we laid siege to the city of Nahavand, and I gave one of my garments to Hazrat Mu'azzad, and he tied it as a turban. A stone struck his head. He began to rub his head and, looking towards me, said: "This is very small, and Allah Almighty will grant blessing in what is small."

Hazrat Salat and Hazrat Abu Masaafi say that we were with Nu’man bin Muqarrin when a letter from Hazrat Umar bin Khattab came to us, in which he had written that when you face the enemy, do not flee, and when you receive wealth, do not be dishonest. So when we faced the enemy, Hazrat Nu’man told the people not to attack them yet. (It was Friday) Wait until the Commander of the Faithful prays to Allah for help from the pulpit. Then we attacked the enemy, and Hazrat Nu’man was immediately struck by death. After being severely wounded, he said,“Cover me with a cloth and attack the enemy, and do not become weak because of me.”Then Allah granted us victory. When Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed that Hazrat Nu’man and such-and-such people had been martyred, and some others whom we do not know, Hazrat Umar said,“But Allah knows them.”

Hazrat Abu Malik and Abu Masaafi say that we were with Hazrat Nu’man bin Muqarrin at Nahawand when a letter from Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, in which it was written: Perform the prayer at its appointed time, do not turn your back when facing the enemy, and when you are victorious, do not commit treachery.

Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Umair narrates that Hazrat Umar wrote in a letter to Hazrat Nu'man bin Muqarrin that during battle, keep consulting and seeking help from Hazrat Tulaiha and Hazrat Amr bin Ma'di Karib. But do not assign them any responsibility. Because every creator knows his creation best.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Nu'man bin Muqarrin was the commander of the army of Kufa, and Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari was the commander of the army of Basra.
