Summary
Rib'i ibn 'Amir was a commander of the Muslim army in the conquest of Iraq, sent by Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqas to Rustum before the Battle of Qadisiyah. He arrived in simple clothing and equipment and stated that Allah had sent the Muslims to bring people from servitude to fellow humans to servitude to Allah. Rustum acknowledged the truth and nobility of his words and rebuked his nobles for judging a man by his clothes. The account is drawn from Ibn Kathir's al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah, with brief facts on the Battle of Qadisiyah in 14 AH.
