- .... And in the narration of Abu Dharr from al-Mustamli and al-Kushmayhuni: in al-Jarud with a "j" and a rounded "r," and with an unmarked "d" at the end, referring to al-Jarud ibn al-Mu'alla, who was kunyaed Abu Ghayath. He was a leader among Abd al-Qays and a chief. Ibn Ishaq said: He came to the Messenger of Allah in the tenth year, in the delegation of Abd al-Qays, and was a Nasrani who converted to Islam, and his Islam was good. It is said that his name was Bishr ibn Amr, and he was called al-Jarud because he raided, during the days of ignorance, against Bakr ibn Wa'il and those with him, and successfully attacked them, stripping them of their possessions. He settled in Basra until he died, and it is said he died in the land of Persia, while others say he was killed in the land of Nahavand with al-Numan ibn Muqrin in the year twenty-one.
He has a story with Qudamah ibn Maz'un, Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) deputy over Bahrain. Abd al-Razzaq narrated both of them through Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabiah, who said:
Umar appointed Qudamah ibn Maz'un, and al-Jarud, the leader of Abd al-Qays, came to Umar and said, "Qudamah has been drinking and is drunk." So Umar wrote to Qudamah about this, and he mentioned the story in detail regarding Qudamah's arrival and the testimonies of al-Jarud and Abu Huraira against him,
and he lashed him as a punishment.
