حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ إِلَى الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانَتْ قَالَ كَانَتْ سَوْدَاءَ مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ نَمِرَةٍ.
English Translation
Yahya bin Zakariyya narrated to us: Abu Ya'qub al-Thaqafi narrated to us: Yunus bin 'Ubayd, the freed slave of Muhammad bin al-Qasim, narrated to me: Muhammad bin al-Qasim sent me to al-Bara' bin 'Azib to ask him about the banner of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, what it was like. He said: It was black, square, made of striped cloth (namira).
