It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab Al-Ahmasi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Banu Atard from among the people of Basra participated in the battle, and they assisted Hazrat Umamah from Kufa. Hazrat Ammar left before the battle, then later said that we too are partners with you in the spoils. A man from Banu Atard stood up and said, "O you, whose ear is cut off"—Hazrat Ammar's ear was martyred in jihad—"do you want us to give you a share from our spoils?" Hazrat Ammar replied, "You have taunted me about my best and most beloved ear." Then Hazrat Ammar wrote to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about this matter. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied in writing that only he who participates in the battle and victory will get a share in the spoils.
