Asyad bin Qart had converted to Islam, however his father, Salamah, remained a disbeliever and refused to convert, and while Asyad bin Salamah accompanied the Muslim army, his father remainder amongst the tribe of Banu Bakr. Asyad chased down his father until he reached a water-pond in Zujj and found his father sitting on his horse. Asyad once again invited his father towards Islam promising him amnesty, but his father used profanities against Asyad and his religion. Salmah entered the pond with his horse, and in this altercation, his son hit the leg of his father’s horse with his sword. The horse fell and Salamah too fell off of his horse. Asyad detained his father until the other Muslims could come and execute him, so that Asyad would not have to kill his father. ((Muhammad bin Umar al-Waqidi, al-Maghazi Volume 2 Page 981))
