The Sword of Allah

06Mar07

When Khalid bin Waleed sees fear in the eyes of some of the Muslims as the enemies host has filled the horizon. He rides in front of the Muslim lines and raises his voice and says, “I can see fear in some of you, SAY La Hawla wa la quwata Ila Billah (there is not power or strength except with Allah.” Once again, this is a true man recognizing the true sense of power.

Lastly, when Khalid bin Waleed (R) is passing away he is on his bed crying and his son comes to him and says, “oh father, are you afraid of death?” Khalid tells his son to lift his shirt and says, to him, “how many wounds do you see on the front of my chest,” his son replies that there are no less than 70 arrow, sword, and spear wounds. He then says, “now look at my back,” and his son says that there is not a single wound. This means that Khalid never turned in battle and always fought facing the enemy. Khalid then says, “do I look like someone that feared dying?” “No I am afraid that I will not be rewarded by Allah amongst the martyrs and I spent my whole life in battle.”
