حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا أَبُو السُّكَيْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا عَمُّ أَبِي زَحْرُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ مَنْهَبٍ قَالَ قَالَ
خُرَيْمُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ «لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ أَعْدَى لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ هُرْمُزَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنْ مُسَيْلِمَةَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَلَقِيَنَا هُرْمُزُ بِكَاظِمَةٍ فِي جَمُعٍ عَظِيمٍ فَبَرَزَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ وَدَعَا إِلَى الْبَرَازِ فَبَرَزَ لَهُ هُرْمُزُ فَقَتَلَهُ خَالِدٌ وَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ فَنَفَّلَهُ سَلَبَهُ قَلَنْسُوَةَ هُرْمُزَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَكَانَتِ الْفُرْسُ إِذَا شَرُفَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ جَعَلُوا قَلَنْسُوَةً بِمِئَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ»

✧ Khuraym b. Aws: “No one was more hostile to the Arabs than Hurmuz. When we had finished with Musaylimah and his companions, we proceeded toward the area of Basrah, and Hurmuz met us at Kazimah with a huge gathering. Khalid went out to meet him and called for single combat. Hurmuz came out against him, and Khalid killed him, and he wrote about that to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq ؓ, who granted him his spoils. The qalansuwah (cap) of Hurmuz was worth one hundred thousand dirhams. The Persians, when a man was honored among them, would make a cap worth one hundred thousand dirhams.”
