tabarani:3803ʿAbdān b. Aḥmad > Abū al-Sukayn Zakariyyā b. Yaḥyá > ʿAm Abū Zaḥr b. Ḥiṣn from his grandfather Ḥumayd b. Manhab > Khuraym

[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.

خُرَيْمُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ «لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ أَعْدَى لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ هُرْمُزَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنْ مُسَيْلِمَةَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَلَقِيَنَا هُرْمُزُ بِكَاظِمَةٍ فِي جَمُعٍ عَظِيمٍ فَبَرَزَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ وَدَعَا إِلَى الْبَرَازِ فَبَرَزَ لَهُ هُرْمُزُ فَقَتَلَهُ خَالِدٌ وَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ فَنَفَّلَهُ سَلَبَهُ قَلَنْسُوَةَ هُرْمُزَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَكَانَتِ الْفُرْسُ إِذَا شَرُفَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ جَعَلُوا قَلَنْسُوَةً بِمِئَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ»

[Machine] Khuraym bin Aws bin Harithah bin Lam said, "No one was more hostile to the Arabs than Hurmuz. When we finished with Musaylimah and his companions, we headed towards Basrah and encountered Hurmuz at Kazimah in a large gathering. Khalid bin Al-Walid came forward and challenged Hurmuz to a duel, and Hurmuz accepted. Khalid killed him, and he wrote about it to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. Abu Bakr rewarded him with the spoils, and it reached the value of one hundred thousand dirhams. The Persians used to place their saddles on a hundred thousand dirhams when they became honorable."
