Accounts of QadisiyyaHistorical narratives associate him with the army at Qadisiyya. A well-known account describes his temporary release from confinement to fight and his subsequent return. Details of this episode belong to the transmitted historical tradition, rather than a securely documented personal memoir.Source: EBÛ MİHCEN es-SEKAFÎ — TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi
