Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36059 — The sending of al-Numan bin Muqarrin

Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted al-Hurmuzan. (Then he narrated a report similar to that of Affan.) In it there is this addition: Sayyiduna Nu'man came to them at Nihawand, and there was a river between them and him. He dispatched Sayyiduna al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him), who crossed the river to them, and at that time their king was Dhu al-Janahayn.
