Sirat Ibn Hisham 1356
The encounter with the Byzantines
[ لِقَاءُ الرُّومِ في مؤتة ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَمَضَى النَّاسُ حَتَّى إذَا كَانُوا بِتُخُومِ الْبَلْقَاءِ لَقِيَتْهُمْ جَمُوعُ هِرَقْلَ مِنْ الرُّومِ وَالْعَرَبِ، بِقَرْيَةِ مِنْ قُرَى الْبَلْقَاءِ يُقَالُ لَهَا مَشَارِفُ، ثُمَّ دَنَا الْعَدُوُّ، وَانْحَازَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إلَى قَرْيَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا مُؤْتَةُ. فَالْتَقَى النَّاسُ عِنْدَهَا فَتَعَبَّأَ لَهُمْ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، فَجَعَلُوا عَلَى مَيْمَنَتِهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: قُطْبَةُ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ وَعَلَى مَيْسَرَتِهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُبَايَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ. [ مَقْتَلُ ابْنِ حَارِثَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: تَمَّ الْتَقَى النَّاسُ وَاقْتَتَلُوا، فَقَاتَلَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ بِرَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى شَاطَ فِي رِمَاحِ الْقَوْمِ
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: The people went on until, when they were at the borders of al-Balqāʾ, the armies of Heraclius from the Byzantines and Arabs met them at a village of the villages of al-Balqāʾ called Mashārif. Then the enemy drew near, and the Muslims withdrew to a village called Muʾtah. The people met there, and the Muslims drew up in battle order for them. They placed over their right wing a man from Banū ʿUdhrah called Quṭbah b. Qatādah, and over their left wing a man from the Anṣār called ʿUbāyah b. Mālik. Ibn Hishām said: It is also said ʿUbādah b. Mālik. Ibn Isḥāq said: Then the people met and fought. Zayd b. Ḥārithah fought with the banner of the Messenger of God ﷺ until he was slain amid the spears of the people.
