Overview
Al-Sa'ib ibn al-Aqra' al-Thaqafi. Al-Baladhuri relates that Umar sent him with a letter to al-Nu'man ibn Muqarrin and appointed him over the spoils, and said to him not to raise up falsehood nor to hold back a right. 1
The spoils
Al-Sa'ib collected the spoils and divided them. Dhu al-Mu'aynatayn came to him and showed him the treasure of Nakhirkan that was in the fortress. He climbed up and took the two chests of jewels and sold them by Umar's order. 2
