Hadith 29:21
Abu Usama narrated to us, from Isma'il, from Qays, who said: Jarir said to me, "Come with us to Mihran." So I went with him. When they approached, he said to me, "I saw myself here as if in a blazing fire, with them stabbing me from every side with their spears. When I saw the destruction, I began to say, 'O my horse, alas for Jarir!' They heard my voice, and Qays came, and nothing could hold them back from me until they rescued me." I said, "I have crossed a month [of travel], and I have not lifted a grain [of food] due to the effects of the spears." Qays said: "I saw us wading through the Tigris while the gates of al-Mada'in were still hanging."
حدثنا أبو أسامة عن إسماعيل عن قيس قال قال لي جرير انطلق بنا إلى مهران فانطلقت معه حيث أقبلوا فقال لي لقد رأيتني فيما ها هنا في مثل حريق النار يطعنوني من كل جانب بنيازكهم فلما رأيت الهلكة جعلت أقول يا فرسي ألا يا جرير فسمعوا صوتي فجاءت قيس ما يردهم مني حتى يخلصوني قلت قد عبرت شهرا ما أرفع لي حبا من أثر النيازك قال قال قيس لقد رأيتنا نخوض دجلة وإن أبواب المدائن لمعلقة
