Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36085 — Reports on Tustar

Habib Abu Yahya said that Khalid bin Zayd, whose eye had been lost at al-Sus, said: We besieged the city, and during this we had to endure great hardship. The commander of the army was Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). The chief of the place obtained security for himself and those with him, and Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Set them apart." He began to set them apart, and Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "I hope that Allah will deceive him about himself." So he set them apart and left that enemy of Allah himself out. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered him to be seized. He offered to ransom himself and offered a great deal of wealth for his life, but Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) refused and struck off his head.
