† Hijri date derived by computation from the Gregorian/Julian date; it may differ from the transmitted date by a day or two.

In al-Baladhuri: Khalid ibn al-Walid (may God be pleased with him) sent him to Baniqya; Persian cavalry under Farrukhbandadh met him — he routed them and killed Farrukhbandadh, returning wounded, the wound relapsing at Ayn al-Tamr where he died — though it is said Khalid himself met Farrukhbandadh with Bashir beside him; he had also testified for Khuraym ibn Aws on Buqayla's daughter with Muhammad ibn Maslama (may God be pleased with him).

Overview

Bashir ibn Sa'd al-Ansari. Al-Baladhuri relates that Khalid ibn al-Walid sent him to Banqiya, where Persian horsemen with Farrukhbundadh met him. He defeated them and killed Farrukhbundadh. 1

He then turned back with a wound that reopened while he was at Ayn al-Tamr, and he died of it, in 12 AH according to the source; the Gregorian conversion is derived. It is said that Khalid himself met Farrukhbundadh, with Bashir alongside him. 1

He had testified with Muhammad ibn Maslama to Khurraym ibn Aws's claim to the daughter of Buqayla. 1 See the treaty of Baniqya.

Note: there is a close entry, Bashir ibn Sa'd, who may be the same person; the data do not settle this and it needs an additional source.
