We fought in the land of the Romans, and with us was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and over the people was 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid during the time of Mu'awiyah. While we were with him, a man came to him and said: "The commander was just brought four non-Arabs (a'laj). He ordered them to be tied up and shot with arrows until they were killed." He said: Abu Ayyub rose in alarm until he came to 'Abd al-Rahman and said: "Did you tie them up?! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbid the tying up of animals (sabr al-bahimah). I would not love to have tied up a hen, even if I were given such-and-such!" He said: So he (Abd al-Rahman) made much of that, and called four of his young slaves and freed them in place of what he had done.
