Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36049 — The affair of al-Qadisiyyah

Abu Zabyan said: We were with Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) on a campaign; it was either the campaign of Jalula' or of Nihawand. A man there had picked some fruit from an orchard and was distributing it among his companions. He passed by Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him), who reviled him. He did not know Sayyiduna Salman, so he reviled him in return. Someone told him that this was Sayyiduna Salman. He then went to Sayyiduna Salman and apologised to him. Then he asked: "O Abu Abdullah, how much of the property of the people under protection (ahl al-dhimmah) is lawful for us?" He said: "Three things: from your blindness to your guidance, from your poverty to your sufficiency, and when you accompany one of them, you eat from his food and he eats from your food, and he rides your mount and you do not prevent him from going where he wants to go."
