Abu Uthman al-Nahdi narrates that he came to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "What happened to al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin?" He replied: "He was martyred." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (We belong to Allah and to Him we return)." Then he asked: "What happened to so-and-so?" I said: "O Commander of the Faithful, he too was martyred, and some others were martyred too whom we do not know." At this Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You say that we do not know them! But Allah knows them." (After this comes) the mention of his brother Suwayd bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suwayd bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: We, the Banu Muqarrin, were seven brothers in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (residing in Madinah). We had a servant girl whom one of us slapped, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (as an expiation): "Set her free."
