"عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِى سُلَيْمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ قَبِيصَةُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ بِالخربية فَإِذَا هُوَ يُنَادِى: يا أَصْحَابَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَة! وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ يُنَادِى: يَا آل شَيْبَانَ! فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَثَنَى لِى الرُّمْحَ وَقَالَ: إِلَيْكَ عنِّى فوضَعت قوْسِى في رُمحِهِ، وَأَخَذْتُ بِلحْيَتِهِ فَجِئْتُ بِه إِلَى عُتْبَةَ فَحَبَسهُ، وَكَتَبَ فِيهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ: لَوْ كُنْتَ ذَا أَسِيرٍ وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيةِ قَدَّمْتَهُ فَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ كَانَ أَهْلَ ذَاكَ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا حَبَستَهُ فَادْعُهُ فَأَحدِثْ لَهُ بَيْعَةً وَخَلِّ سَبِيَلهُ".

Machine translation, not reviewed
"From a man of the Banu Sulaym called Qabisah, who said: We were with 'Utbah ibn Ghazwan at al-Kharbiyyah, when he was calling out: 'O companions of Surat al-Baqarah!' A man was calling out: 'O family of Shaybán!' I charged at him, and he bent my spear. He said: 'Leave me alone.' I placed my bow on his spear, took hold of his beard, and brought him to 'Utbah, who imprisoned him and wrote about him to 'Umar. 'Umar wrote back to him: If you were holding a prisoner and he called out with a call of the Jahiliyyah, you should have brought him forward and struck his neck, for he deserved that. But since you have imprisoned him, call him, renew his pledge of allegiance, and release him."
