the authority of al-Zuhri, ‘Ikrimah Ibn Khalid and ‘Asim Ibn ‘Umar Ibn
Qatadah; (third chain) he (Ibn Sa’d) said: Yazid 1bn ‘Iyad Ibn Ju’dubah
informed us on the authority of ‘Abd Allah Ibn Abu Bakr Ibn Hazm and
other scholars; some giving more information than others; they said:
‘Ath’ath Ibn Zahr and Anas lbn Mudrik waited on the Apostle of Allah,
may Allah bless him, with the members of the Khath’am after Jarir Ibn
‘Abd Allah had broken Dhua’l-Khalasah and had slain those of
Khath’am whom he had slain. Then they said: We believe in Allah, His
Apostle and what was revealed by Allah. (They said) write a document
for us so that we may follow what might be written therein. Thereupon
he wrote a document for him and Jarir Ibn ‘Abd Allah and those present
testified to it.
