Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36079 — Reports on Tustar

Shihab said that he took part in jihad with Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). On the day we reached Tustar, Sayyiduna al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. I stood behind him with a shield until he recovered. Shihab said: I was the first man of the Arabs to light a fire at the gate of Tustar. When we conquered Tustar and took captives, Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Choose ten men from the army to stay with you to guard these captives until our return." Then they advanced, conquered many regions and came back. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed the spoils among the fighters; he gave the horseman two shares and the foot soldier one share, and when a captive woman was sold he would not separate her from her child.
