Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35994 — The battle of Abu Ubayd

Qays said: Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: "Come with us to Mihran." So I went with him to the place where they had fought. He said to me: "I remember myself here, in what was like a blazing fire, with them piercing me from every side with their short spears. When I saw destruction before me, I began to call out: 'O my horse! O Jarir!' They heard my voice and the men of Qays came, and nothing could turn them back until they had rescued me." I said: "I spent a month unable to raise my side because of the wounds of the spears." He said: Qays said: "I remember us wading through the Tigris while the gates of al-Mada'in were shut."
