٣٧٨٩٧ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن عوف عن أبي قحذم قال: أُتي ابن زياد بصُرة فيها حب حنطة أمثال النوى، وجدت في بعض بيوت الكسرى مكتوب معها: هذا (نبت) (١) زمان (كذا وكذا، كأنه يعني نبت زمان) (٢) كان يعمل فيه بطاعة اللَّه (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qahzam that he said: A pouch was brought to Ibn Ziyad in which there were grains of wheat the size of date stones. And this pouch was found in the house of some members of the family of Kisra, and with it was this inscription: This is the produce of such-and-such a time, meaning it was produced in that era in which Allah was obeyed.
