  "en": "A body of Sayabija — forty or four hundred — stood watch over Basra's treasury; when Talha and al-Zubayr came to Basra, held for Ali by Uthman ibn Hunayf, they refused to surrender the treasury till Ali's arrival — so they were fallen upon at dawn and killed, Abdallah ibn al-Zubayr leading that party; over the Sayabija then was Abu Salama al-Zutti, a righteous man."
