[Machine] Khuraym ibn Aws was one of the most hostile people towards the Arabs. After we finished dealing with Musaylimah and his companions, we headed towards the direction of Basra and encountered Hurmuz in the region of Kazimah, amidst a large gathering. Khalid emerged and challenged him to combat. Hurmuz accepted the challenge, but Khalid killed him. Khalid then wrote to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq about this and Abu Bakr granted him the spoils, which included a hundred thousand dirhams from Hurmuz. The Persians used to offer a hundred thousand dirhams to anyone who managed to kill a prominent figure.
