Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35971 — The commander of a raiding party

Sallam said: When he read out his letter of appointment to them, they said: "Ask of us." He said: "I ask you for food to eat and fodder for this donkey of mine." He stayed among them as long as Allah willed. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to him to come back, so he set out. When news of his arrival reached Sayyiduna Umar, he hid himself in a place from where he could see him. When he saw him in the same condition in which he had left him, Sayyiduna Umar came to him, embraced him and said: "You are my brother and I am your brother."
