The story of Rustam. Rustam was on his throne. Rustam dismounted from it. And he took shelter under a mule. On which was wealth. Which had arrived from Kisra for expenses.

When they were strong, he went up. Rustam fled. And Hilal bin Alqama pursued him. He seized him by the leg and killed him. Then he came and dragged him.
