Hadith 29:36
Waki’ narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Aswad ibn Qays al-‘Abdi, from Shibr ibn ‘Alqama, who said: When it was the day of al-Qadisiyyah, a man from the people of Persia stood up and called for a duel, and he mentioned his greatness. A short man stood up to him, who was called Shibr ibn ‘Alqama. He said: The Persian said to him like this—meaning he lifted him up—then he struck the ground with him and threw him down. He said: So Shibr took a dagger that was with the Persian and did like this with it in his stomach—meaning he gutted him. He said: Then he turned over on him and killed him. Then he came with his spoils to Sa’d, and he valued them at twelve thousand, so Sa’d gave them to him as a voluntary gift (nafal).
حدثنا وكيع ثنا سفيان عن الأسود بن قيس العبدي عن شبر بن علقمة قال لما كان يوم القادسية قام رجل من أهل فارس فدعا إلى المبارزة فذكر من عظمه فقام إليه رجل قصير يقال له شبر بن علقمة قال فقال له الفارسي هكذا يعني احتمله ثم ضرب به الأرض فصرعه قال فأخذ شبر خنجرا كان مع الفارسي فقال به في بطنه هكذا يعني فحصحصه قال ثم انقلب عليه فقتله ثم جاء بسلبه إلى سعد فقوم باثني [ عشر ] ألفا فنفله سعد
