Iranians. The victory came after a long fight and ferocious upheaval. The Muslims were also well armed but the enemy confronted the Muslims with a powerful and huge army that no eye had ever seen before. From the Muslims, Sa' d bin Ubayd, the Qur' an reader, and many others were martyred whose real number is known to Allah alone. When night fell, they used to recite the Qur' an plentifully in the loneliness of the night. These fighters were such lions that real lions did not resemble them. Those who survived are also fortunate, their status is unequalled; but those w ho were martyred are superior to them by virtue of their martyrdom." Sayyidana Umar Al-Faruq ~ was so deeply interested in the outcomes of this consequential campaign that he used to get the most recent information about Al Qadisiyyah from every caravan that came to Madinah. He used to go outside the gates of Madinah early in the morning, to see if he could, by chance, meet some messenger from the battlefield. He would then return before midday. So it was significant, and a blessing, when he went out that day when a camel-rider arrived outside the city bearing the good news of the victory at Al-Qadisiyyah.
The messenger was about to enter Madinah, when Umar bin Al-Khattab ~ stopped him and asked, "Where are you coming from, 0 young man?" The messenger replied, "From the field of Al Qadisiyyah!" He did not recognize Umar ~. Consider the humility of Umar bin Al-Khattab ~ that he did say not he was the Commander of the Believers. The bearer of the news was mounted on a she-camel, while Umar ~ followed him on foot. Umar * then asked him, "How is the situation in Al-Qadisiyyah? What is the outcome of the battle?" The messenger then told him the good news of the victory of the Muslims. Umar * said to the messenger, "Just narrate the whole incident. How did the Muslims win?" The bearer of the news began to recount the detail while riding his she-camel. Unrecognized, Umar * followed him quickly on foot, gleaning the outline of the battle. Entering Madinah, the people saluted Umar ~ addressing him as the Commander of the Believers. It was only then the bearer of the news realized that he had been talking to Caliph Umar bin Al-Khattab * himself.
