Ziyadah narrates from his grandfather, Sayyiduna Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named him "Muta'" (that is, a leader). He said to him: O Muta'! You are "Muta'" among your people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a piebald horse, gave him the banner and said to him: O Muta'! Go to your companions; whoever enters beneath this banner of mine will be safe from the punishment.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
