Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35982 — The account of al-Yamamah and those

Hammad bin Salamah said: Ubaydullah bin Abi Bakr informed me that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a breach in their city, and Muhakkam of Yamamah planted his feet upon it. He was a huge, heavily built man, and he began reciting battle verses: "I am Muhakkam of Yamamah, I am the pivot of the encampment, and I am, and I am." He said: He was their champion. When he had the chance to strike, he struck, and Sayyiduna al-Bara warded it off with his leather shield. Then Sayyiduna al-Bara struck his shin and killed him. Muhakkam of Yamamah had a broad sword with him. Sayyiduna al-Bara threw down his own sword and took Muhakkam's broad sword. Then he charged and kept striking with it until it broke. He said: "May Allah bring disgrace upon what is between you and me," and he took up his own sword.
