Hazrat Samak bin Salamah narrates that when the Muslims conquered Tustar and advanced to fight the enemy, a wealthy man from there betrayed the Muslim warriors and captured them. Then he lit a furnace and placed pork and wine with them, saying, "Either eat this or you will be thrown into the furnace." So, whoever drank the wine and ate the pork was released. These things were presented before Hazrat Naheeb bin Harith, but he refused. As a result, he was thrown into the furnace. When the Muslims returned from their military campaigns and besieged the city, and peace was made with the people of Tustar, peace was also made with that wealthy man. One day, Hazrat Naheeb's nephew said to his uncle, "O uncle, this man is the killer of Naheeb." He replied, "Now these people have come under the protection of the Muslims, so we cannot say anything to them now." When the entire incident was reported to Hazrat Umar, he said, "May Allah have mercy on Naheeb. If he had eaten those things out of compulsion to save his life, there would have been no sin."

36094 - Simak said: It reached me that Umar was informed of that, and he said: May Allah have mercy on him, and what would have been upon him if he had eaten (1).

Hazrat Kulayb Jurmi narrates that when we laid siege to the area called Tawj, our leadership was in the hands of Mujashi‘ bin Mas‘ud of Banu Sulaym. When we conquered Tawj, at that time I was wearing an old shirt. I went to a slain non-Arab and took off his shirt, washed it, cleaned it, and wore it to enter the settlement. From the settlement, I took a needle and thread and sewed my shirt. After that, Hazrat Mujashi‘ addressed the warriors and said, "O people! Do not commit any kind of dishonesty. Whoever commits dishonesty will have to account for it on the Day of Judgment, even if it is just a needle." Then I took off that shirt and tore again the part of my shirt that I had sewn with that thread. Then I put the needle and thread back where I had taken them from. Then, in my lifetime, I saw the time when people would commit dishonesty in large quantities, and if they were asked what they were doing, they would say, "Our share in the spoils is more than this."

Hazrat Muhammad bin Abdur Rahman’s father narrates that when Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) received the news of the conquest of Tustar, he asked,“Did anything strange happen there?”He was informed that a Muslim had become an apostate and joined the polytheists, and that they had captured him. Hazrat Umar asked,“Then what did you do with him?”The people replied,“We killed him.”He said,“Why did you not imprison him? You should have kept him in prison for three days, given him a loaf of bread each day, and invited him to return to Islam. If he repented, well and good; otherwise, you could have killed him.”Then Hazrat Umar prayed,“O Allah! Bear witness, I neither gave this order nor am I pleased with it.”

Hazrat Muhallab bin Abi Sufrah says that we besieged Ahwaz and then conquered it. There was talk of a peace agreement there, and we had taken some women captive and had intercourse with them. Then this news reached Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: "Take your children (from them) and return their women to them."

Hazrat Muhammad bin Hatib says that we were sent towards Istakhr and Fars was made for Qa'id.

Hazrat Shuwais Adawi says that I participated in the battle of Maysan, I captured a slave woman and married her. Then a letter from Hazrat Umar came to us in which it was written that the captives of Maysan should be returned, so I returned that slave woman and I do not know whether she was pregnant or not. This was a cause for greater population and increased tax collection for their settlement.

Hazrat Iyad Ash'ari says that I participated in the Battle of Yarmouk. In it, we had five commanders: Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah, Hazrat Yazid bin Abi Sufyan, Hazrat Ibn Hasnah, Hazrat Khalid bin Walid, and Hazrat Iyad. And Hazrat Umar had said that when the battle takes place, you must obey Hazrat Abu Ubaidah. Then, in this battle, we were surrounded by severe dangers, so we sought help from Hazrat Umar. He replied in writing that your letter has reached me in which you have asked me for help. I advise you to seek help from Allah, whose help is most dominant and whose army is the strongest, and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم defeated the enemy in the Battle of Badr with fewer numbers than you. When this letter of mine reaches you, do not turn to me again. After receiving this letter, we fought bravely and defeated the enemy. We fought them for four farsakhs and obtained a lot of wealth. Then we consulted among ourselves about the distribution of the wealth, so Hazrat Iyad suggested that each person should be given ten. Then Hazrat Abu Ubaidah said, "Who will race with me?" A young man said, "If you are not displeased, I will race with you." Then that young man went ahead. The narrator says that I saw Hazrat Abu Ubaidah on his Arabian horse behind that young man, and the braids of his hair were flying.

Hazrat Qais narrates that during the Battle of Yarmouk, I saw a man who was ready to sacrifice his life, and his wife was trying to stop him by pleading with him. He was saying, "Take her away from me; I cannot stop for her at all." Hazrat Qais says that later we saw that he had been martyred in that battle.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib narrates that in the Battle of Yarmouk, no one's voice was louder than that of Abu Sufyan. He was standing under the flag of his son and saying, "This is one of the days of Allah. O Allah! Send down Your help."
