A Standard Held Mid-Battle
At Nahawand, when his brother al-Nu’man was struck down in the heart of the battle, Nu’aim took his standard and his clothes and continued — so the army would not know of the martyrdom until the victory was won. 1 History of Islam · Vol 1 · pp. 363 — Najeebabadi — Nu'aim ibn Muqarrin succeeds his brother al-Nu'man at Nahawand by taking the standard and clothes; the army wins without learning of the martyrdom.
He went on to conquer Rayy and Azerbaijan. 2 History of Islam · Vol 1 · pp. 363 — Najeebabadi — Nu'aim ibn Muqarrin conquers Rayy and Azerbaijan after Nahawand.
