Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36101 — What I have memorised on al-Yarmuk

Qays said: At the Battle of Yarmuk I saw a man who was ready to give up his life, and his wife was imploring him and trying to hold him back. He was saying: "Take her away from me. If I knew that what I seek would reach her too, I would not begrudge it to her. By Allah, if I am able, this will not move from its place" - and he pointed with his hand to a mountain - "and if you prevail over my body, then take it." Qays said: Afterwards we saw that he had been martyred in that battle.
