Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Aswad bin Qais al-Abdi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Shabir bin Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When the day of the Battle of Qadisiyyah came, a man from among the Persians stood up and challenged for combat and boasted of his own greatness. Then a small man, who was called Shabir bin Alqamah, stood up. At this, the Iranian expressed anger and threw this man to the ground and pinned him. Meanwhile, Shabir grabbed the dagger that was with the Iranian and thrust it into his stomach. In this way, while doing this, Hazrat Shabir (may Allah be pleased with him) moved his hand and demonstrated. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) got on top of him and killed him. Then he brought the spoils seized from him to Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him). He valued it at twelve thousand and granted him this wealth as an additional reward.
