349 - Muḥammad b. al-ʿAbbās narrated to us, he said: Mūsā b. ʿĪsā narrated to me, he said: Baqiyya narrated to me from Buḥayr b. Saʿd, from Khālid b. Maʿdān, who said: I was told that when there is an advance in battle, the wide-eyed houris adorn themselves, apply perfume, and descend until they are like rows. He said: Then one says to her companions: "Do you not see my husband, how he overcomes your husbands?" If a charge is made against him and he retreats, she feels ashamed, covers her face, and says: "Oh, what a disgrace!" And if he is killed, she takes him and does not leave a drop of his blood except that she places it in her palm, then presses it to her chest.
