Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18094 — I was present at the Battle

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَعْمَرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ الْقَادِسِيَّةَ فَانْطَلَقَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْ سَرِيرِ رُسْتُمَ وَثَبَ، فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ فَنَحَرُوا، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ: مَا الَّذِي تَفْزَعُونَ مِنْ هَذَا؟ أَنَا الْآنَ أَقُومُ فَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَرْجِعُ صَاحِبُكُمْ إِلَى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالُوا: أَخْبِرْنَا مَا جَاءَ بِكُمْ؟ قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ: " كُنَّا ضُلَّالًا فَبَعَثَ اللهُ فِينَا نَبِيًّا وَهَدَانَا إِلَى دِينِهِ وَرَزَقَنَا فِيمَا رَزَقَنَا حَبَّةً تَكُونُ فِي بِلَادِكُمْ هَذِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَكَلْنَا مِنْهَا وَأَطْعَمْنَا أَهْلَنَا قَالُوا: لَا صَبَرَ لَنَا حَتَّى تُنْزِلُونَا هَذِهِ الْبِلَادَ، قَالُوا: إِذًا نَقْتُلَكُمْ، قَالَ: إِنْ قَتَلْتُمُونَا دَخَلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَاكُمْ دَخَلْتُمُ النَّارَ "
Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was present at the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah. Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) went forward, and when he came near the throne of Rustam, he leapt up and sat down with him on his throne. (The people of the court) became agitated. Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: Why are you alarmed at this? I will now get up and go back to my place, and your companion will go back to his place. They said: Tell us, what has brought you here? Al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were astray, then Allah sent a Prophet among us and guided us to His religion. Among what He provided us with, He provided us with a grain that grows in this land of yours. When we ate of it and fed our families, they said: We cannot be patient until you settle us in this land. They said: Then we will kill you. Al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you kill us, we will enter Paradise; and if we kill you, you will enter Hell.
