My father narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. al-Husayn b. Abu’l Khattab narrated to us from Nasr b. Mazahim al-Munqari from `Umar b. Sa`d from Abu Shu`ayb al-Taghlabi from Yahya b. Yaman from a leader of Banu Sulaym from their elders. They said: We invaded the cities of Rome and entered a church from their churches. We found written therein:
