Wow, you have so much info about Hazart Khalid Ben Walid. I am amazed. Can you help me find the answer to the question regarding this great General of Muslim army? Why was he demoted from his command by the Khalifah of the time (Probably by Hazarat Umar)? Plz don't mind my question as I love him too. The islamic history do talk very high of this man as he yet chose to fight in the same army as an ordinary fighter. I really couldn't find any appropriate answer for such a big decision.

Dear Ahmed

Sir Omar Ebn Al Khattab had demote Khaled Ebn Al Waleed for this reason :-

*as we know he's the only leader in the whole world that never loss a battle , as a result of this women in Madina and young child began to talk about him .become very very famous

so sir Omar Ebn Al Khattab demote him to make the people know that Allah who make victory not Khaled

* Omar Ebn Al Khattab was intending to retuen him back after Muslims make sure that Allah who make loss and victory.

< Khaled Ebn Al Waleed and Islam >
-----------------------------------------------
How Khaled Ebn Al Waleed with all of his hatred toward Muslims became one of them !!!!

let's tell him story from the begining :-

When Messannger of God (phuh) and Muslims moved toward Mecca , Khaled was not accept to see Prophet Muhammed in Mecca , He took about 200 of kuffar Knights and move quickly toward Prophet Muhammed to Kill him (phuh) but , What Happened ? ? ? ?

They were praying " Al-Zuhur" some of Khaled's Soldeirs told Khaled to attack while they praying but , Khaled said " No " - He Was Nobel Knight- " Wait for them after Praying " so they wait  , Muslims prepared themselves to pray " Al-3asr" , Khaled told his soldeirs that Muslims will now enter into a pray that is much worth thatn their Life - He mean Salatu al 3asr .

But , Allah (swt) was sent down the basics of how to pray during a battle or war " salatu al 7`awf "
Khaled Ebn Al Waleed saw that he said to himself " This Man - Muhammed - is protected from someone - God- "

Islam began to move toward his Heart

he left them and wemt to his house and sound of Muslims increased and increased he was very Upset he said to himself again " Where Shal i go ?? go to rome and become christian ??? but my life here better than life there....Shall i go to Iraq and become one of them and worship fire??? but , my life here is better that there ........Shall i goto " Nagashy " but , he become Muslim . Where shall i go ????????????????? "
during this his Brother " Al Waleed ebn al Waleed " was going to Khaled's House but he didn't find him there so he left him a message .
When Khaled return home he saw the Message
  " Al salamu alikom Khaled , I went to your house but i didn't find you , and Messanger Of God ( phuh) ask me alot about you " Where's Khaled ? " He said (phuh) , (Allah make him come Messanger Of God " I replyed " is there someone like him ignore Islam , If he come we will make him better that Others " he  said (ohuh) " Khaled said " i was very happy that messanger of god he ask for me "
then he decided to convert Islam.
he said to himself " who shall i bring with me ? " he took " Osman Ebn Talha " and said " Osman i think that we were worng when we fought Muhammed Honor Of Muhammed Is Honor for Us " .so he took Osman and went to Madina To declare Islam .
during the way they met " Amr Ebn Al 3as " he was wanting to declare islam too

Three Men went to Madina , When Messanger Of God (phuh) saw them he smiled and say " Mecca had give you the best men it have "
Khaled move forward and say " Salamu alykom Messanger of god , Ask God to forgive me all what i did to Muslims "  , " Islam removed what before it " Messanger of god replyed
then Messanger Of God told him " I was seeing to you a great mind i hoped to guide you to the right path "
Then Khaled Began His New Life In Islam

Wait the fourth Part inshallah

Dear M_Hafez

Do you have any reference to your reason? Is this really the reason you think? This reason suggests that it was based merely on the gossips of the town at that time and led one of the wisest Caliphs of Islam to demote one of the most tallented Generals of Muslim army, that too, still engaged with the enemies at the war front, could it be justified? Of course, Allah selects people to get the Job done. He chose Prophets among people to convey His message. Similarly, one can easily argue, Allah might have chosen Hazarat Khalid (as you already know him as "sword of Allah") to do this job. Untill or unless you have some good source to support your answer, this reason doesn't seems to carry any weight. There are couple of other reasons as well, beside the one you told, that are usually forwarded, but they all seems to be literally unrealistic. For example, some would blame him using some sort of alcholic body spray that would keep him fresh and healthy all day long. On this, caliph immediately dommoted him for using alchol. This story is not only flawed with wrong premise of violation of any Islamic law, but also, doesn't merit its justification for the kind of action taken. I shall wait for your academically researched reply than rehotorics. Thanks and keep up the good work of educating us on this great man. 

Dear Ahmed

My Refrences is " Khaled ebn al waleed -sayfo allah-" book & " Khaled's geniusy " book - abbas al 3aqqad -

U know that sir Omar Ebn AL Khattab was intending to return Khaled back to leadership of the army .

Sir Omar Ebn Al Khattab was very just , wise and smart , he saw people sayin that Khaled Ebn Al Waleed who make victory , So He demote Him for a while

The Battle of Mu�tahIt was the most significant and the fiercest battle during the lifetime of the Messenger of All�h [pbuh], a preliminary and a prelude to the great conquests of the land of the Christians. It took place in Jumada Al-Ula 8 A.H. / September 629 A.D. Mu�tah is a village that lies on the borders of geographical Syria.

The Prophet [pbuh] had sent Al-Harith bin �Umair Al-Azdi on an errand to carry a letter to the ruler of Busra. On his way, he was intercepted by Sharhabeel bin �Amr Al-Ghassani, the governor of Al-Balqa� and a close ally to Caesar, the Byzantine Emperor. Al-Harith was tied and beheaded by Al-Ghassani.

Killing envoys and messengers used to be regarded as the most awful crime, and amounted to the degree of war declaration. The Prophet [pbuh] was shocked on hearing the news and ordered that a large army of 3000 men be mobilized and despatched to the north to discipline the transgressors. [Za'd Al-Ma'ad 2/155; Fath Al-Bari 7/511] It was the largest Muslim army never mobilized on this scale except in the process of the Confederates Battle.

Zaid bin Haritha was appointed to lead the army. Ja�far bin Abi Talib would replace him if he was killed, and �Abdullah bin Rawaha would succeed Ja�far in case the latter fell.[Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/611] A white banner was raised and handed over to Zaid. [Mukhtasar Seerat Ar-Rasool p.327]

The Prophet [pbuh] recommended that they reach the scene of Al-Harith�s murder and invite the people to profess Islam. Should the latter respond positively, then no war would ensue, otherwise fighting them would be the only alternative left.

He ordered them:

"Fight the disbelievers in the Name of All�h, neither breach a covenant nor entertain treachery, and under no circumstances a new-born, woman, an ageing man or a hermit should be killed; moreover neither trees should be cut down nor homes demolished. [Mukhtasar Seerat Ar-Rasool p.327; Rahmat-ul-lil'alameen 2/271]"

At the conclusion of the military preparations, the people of Madinah gathered and bade the army farewell. �Abdullah bin Rawaha began to weep at that moment, and when asked why he was weeping, he swore that it was not love for this world nor under a motive of infatuation with the glamour of life but rather the Words of All�h speaking of Fire that he heard the Prophet [pbuh] reciting:

"There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished." [Al-Qur'an 19:71]

The Muslim army then marched northward to Ma��n, a town bordering on geographical Syria. There news came to the effect that Heraclius had mobilized a hundred thousand troops together with another hundred thousand men of Lakham, Judham and Balqain � Arabian tribes allied to the Byzantines. The Muslims, on their part had never thought of encountering such a huge army. They were at a loss about what course to follow, and spent two nights debating these unfavourable conditions. Some suggested that they should write a letter to the Prophet [pbuh] seeking his advice. �Abdullah bin Rawaha was opposed to them being reluctant and addressed the Muslims saying: "I swear by All�h that this very object which you hold in abhorrence is the very one you have set out seeking, martyrdom. In our fight we don�t count on number of soldiers or equipment but rather on the Faith that All�h has honoured us with. Dart to win either of the two, victory or martyrdom." In the light of these words, they moved to engage with the enemy in Masharif, a town of Al-Balqa�, and then changed direction towards Mu�tah where they encamped. The right flank was led by Qutba bin Qatadah Al-�Udhari, and the left by �Ubadah bin Malik Al-Ansari. Bitter fighting started between the two parties, three thousand Muslims against an enemy fiftyfold as large.

Zaid bin Haritha, the closest to the Messenger�s heart, assumed leadership and began to fight tenaciously and in matchless spirit of bravery until he fell, fatally stabbed. Ja�far bin Abi Talib then took the banner and did a miraculous job. In the thick of the battle, he dismounted, hamstrung his horse and resumed fighting until his right hand was cut off. He seized the banner with his left hand until this too was gone. He then clasped the banner with both arms until a Byzantine soldier struck and cut him into two parts. he was posthumously called "the flying Ja�far" or "Ja�far with two wings" because All�h has awarded him two wings to fly wherever he desired there in the eternal Garden. Al-Bukhari reported fifty stabs in his body, none of them in the back. [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/611]

�Abdullah bin Rawaha then proceeded to hold up the banner and fight bravely on his horseback while reciting enthusiastic verses until he too was killed. Thereupon a man, from Bani �Ajlan, called Thabit bin Al-Arqam took the banner and called upon the Muslims to choose a leader. The honour was unanimously granted to Khalid bin Al-Waleed, a skilled brave fighter and an outstanding strategist. It was reported by Al-Bukhari that he used nine swords that broke while he was relentlessly and courageously fighting the enemies of Islam. He, however, realizing the grave situation the Muslims were in, began to follow a different course of encounter, revealing the super strategy-maker, that Khalid was rightly called. He reshuffled the right and left flanks of the Muslim army and introduced forward a division from the rear in order to cast fear into the hearts of the Byzantine by deluding them that fresh reinforcements had arrived. The Muslims engaged with the enemies in sporadic skirmishes but gradually and judiciously retreating in a fully organized and well-planned withdrawal.

The Byzantines, seeing this new strategy, believed that they were being entrapped and drawn in the heart of the desert. They stopped the pursuit, and consequently the Muslims managed to retreat back to Madinah with the slightest losses. [Fath-Al-Bari 7/513, 514; Za'd Al-Ma'ad 2/156]

The Muslims sustained twelve martyrs, whereas the number of casualties among the Byzantines was unknown although the details of the battle point clearly to a large number. Even though the battle did not satisfy the Muslims� objective, namely avenging Al-Harith�s murder, it resulted in a far-ranging impact and attached to the Muslims a great reputation in the battlefields. The Byzantine Empire, at that time, was a power to be reckoned with, and mere thinking of antagonizing it used to mean self-annihilation, let alone a three-thousand-soldier army going into fight against 200,000 soldiers far better equipped and lavishly furnished with all luxurious conveniences. The battle was a real miracle proving that the Muslims were something exceptional not then familiar. Moreover, it gave evidence that All�h backed them and their Prophet, Muhammad, was really All�h�s Messenger. In the light of these new strategic changes, the archenemies among the desert bedouins began to reconcile themselves with the new uprising faith and several recalcitrant tribes like Banu Saleem, Ashja�, Ghatfan, Dhubyan, Fazarah and others came to profess Islam out of their own sweet free will.

Mu�tah Battle, after all, constituted the forerunner of the blood encounter to take place with the Byzantines subsequently. It pointed markedly to a new epoch of the Islamic conquest of the Byzantine empire and other remote countries, to follow at a later stage.

The Prophet had informed the people of the martyrdom of Zaid bin Haritha, Jafar bin Abi Talib and Abdullah bin Rawaha before the news of their death reached. The Prophet said, "Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and was martyred, then Jafar took it and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took it and was martyred.."

At that time the Prophet's eyes were shedding tears. He added, "Then the flag was taken by a Sword amongst the Swords of Allah (Khalid bin Al-Waleed) and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) victorious."

Since that battle and Khaled called " Sword Of Allah"

M_Hafez

There is a little confusion regarding their names and their mutual relationship that you mentioned here and I quote " Yaziid Ibn Abi Sufyaan and Mu'aawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyaan." I thought Yaziid was the son of Mu'aawiyah and Mu'aawiyah was the son of Abi Sufyaan as narrated in history books else where. Can you clarify this?

salmaualykom

dear ahmed :-

about your question ... i put the names as it was in my refrences

okay?

but , i'll check it myself first , may be i was mistaked

i'll check it now

and told you if you was right

Now, let us watch closely how human greatness was manifested in one of its most remarkable scenes. The first version narrated by the historian said that while Khaled was commanding the Muslim army in this bloody and crucial war and wresting victory out of the claws of the Romans with admirable master strokes, the new caliph, "Umar Ibn Al-Khaltaab, Commander of the Faithful, dispatched a message to him in which he saluted the Muslim army and announced the sad news of Abu Bakr's death (May Allah be pleased with him). Then he ordered Khaled to give up his command to Abu 'Ubaidah Ibn Al-Jarraah. Khaled read the message and supplicated Allah to have mercy on Abu Bakr and bestow His guidance on 'Umar. Then he strictly ordered the messenger not to tell anyone about the purport of the message and not to leave his place or communicate with anyone.

Then Khaled resumed his command of the combat and concealed the news of Abu Bakr's death and 'Umar's orders until they had achieved victory. Finally, the hour of victory came and the Romans were defeated.

It was only then that the hero approached Abu 'Ubaidah and saluted him. At first, Abu "Ubaidah thought that he did so in jest, yet he soon realized how serious and true this news was. Instantly, he kissed Khaled between his eyes and praised his greatness.

The second version of the same incident is that the message was sent to Abu'Ubaidah, who concealed the news from Khaled until the burden of war was over. Which of the two versions is authentic is not our concern here. The only thing that interests us here is Khaalid's conduct, which was superb in both versions.

I cannot think of a situation in which Khaled manifested more loyalty and sincerity than this one. It did not matter to him whether he was a commander or a soldier. Both ranks were one and the same to him as long as they enabled him to carry out his duties towards Allah Whom he believed in, the Prophet (PBUH) whom he gave allegiance to, and, finally, towards the religion which he embraced. This great self-control of Khaled and of other Muslims was not possible without the help and guidance of the unique type of caliphs who were at the head of the Muslim nation at that time. These caliphs were Abu Bakr and 'Umar. The mere mention of either name conjures up all the unique and great traits created in mankind.

Notwithstanding the fact that Khaled and "Umar were not exactly best friends, "Umar's decency, justice, and remarkable greatness were not in the least questioned by Khaled. Hence, his decisions and judgments were not questioned. The unbiased conscience of the man who issued these orders reached the apex of piety, steadfastness, and veracity.

'Umar, the Commander of the Faithful, had nothing against Khaled but his overburdening and sharp sword.

He vented these reservations when he suggested to Abu Bakr that Khaled should be dismissed after the death of Maalik Ibn Nuwairah. He said, "Khaled's sword is overburdening." He meant that it was swift, sharp, and harsh. The Caliph As-Siddiiq said, "I would not sheathe what Allah had unsheathed against the disbelievers."

Notice that "Umar did not say that Khaled was overburdening but used "overburdening" to describe the sword rather than the man. Not only did these words manifest the elevated politeness of the Commander of the Faithful but also his profound appreciation of Khaled.

Khaled was a man of war from head to toe. He dedicated his whole life before and after his Islam to becoming a shrewd and daring knight. Even his environment and the way he was brought up were devoted to that ultimate goal.

i ask allah to make me with him in the paradise
