It is narrated from Abu Wa'il that he said: I was present at the Battle of Qadisiyyah. Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) set out (towards Rustam). When he came near Rustam's throne, he leapt up and sat with him on the throne. At this the courtiers made snorting sounds of contempt. Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: "Why are you alarmed at this? I will get up now and go back to my place, and this master of yours will return to his place." They said: Tell us why you have come here. Sayyiduna al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We were astray; then Allah Almighty raised among us a Prophet who guided us to His religion and granted us provision. Among that provision was a grain that is found in these lands of yours. When we ate it and fed our families, they said: We will have no rest until you settle us in these lands." They said: In that case we will kill you. Sayyiduna al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If you kill us, we will enter Paradise, and if we kill you, you will go to the Fire (Hell)."
