Qays bin Abi Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw Amr bin Ma'di Karib on the day of al-Qadisiyyah urging the people to fight, and he was saying: "O people, be strong, mighty and fearless lions; the Persian is merely a billy-goat once he has thrown his short spear." The narrator said: While he was in that state, one of the horsemen of Persia was taking aim at him with an arrow, and it was said to him: "O Abu Thawr, this horseman is taking aim at you with his arrow." The narrator said: Then he shot, and the arrow struck the tip of Amr's bow and broke it. So Amr charged at him, struck him with his spear and broke his back; then he dismounted (beside him) and took off his two bracelets, which were of gold, and a silk garment as well. The narrator said: Then that (booty) was handed over to him.
