Overview
Yaqtin ibn Musa, whom the caliph al-Mansur sent to Abu Muslim after his victory over the army of Abd Allah ibn Ali, to take the treasuries 1.
The report
When Abu Muslim said that he could be trusted with blood but could not be trusted with property, Yaqtin swore by the divorce of his wife three times that his face had not been turned for any purpose other than congratulating him on his victory. Abu Muslim embraced him, and said that he knew he had divorced his wife, but that he had been faithful to his companion 1.
