Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35992 — The battle of Abu Ubayd

Qays said: Sayyiduna Abu Ubayd bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) crossed the Euphrates to go against Mihran. After he had crossed, the enemy destroyed the bridge and martyred him and his companions. He left his final instructions to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Mihjan al-Thaqafi composed an elegy for him, the translation of which is: "The homes of Abu Jabr have become desolate, which hungry widows used to visit. By the bridge, Abu Amr lies on the banks, stripped of everything. I am the last of those who survived, and righteous men were martyred around me. My horse bled near the elephant, with blood flowing from its breast and flanks."
