Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36010 — The affair of al-Qadisiyyah

Sa'd bin Ibrahim said that they passed by a man at the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah whose hands and feet had been cut off. He was writhing and reciting this verse of the Qur'an: "with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favour, among the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous; and how excellent are those as companions!" [Al-Nisa: 69]. One of those passing by him asked: "O servant of Allah, who are you?" He said: "I am a man of the Ansar."
