I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “What a good slave of Allah and member of the tribe Khalid bin al-Waleed is! [He is] one of the swords of Allah that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has unsheathed against disbelievers and hypocrites.ʿ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَأَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللهِ سَلَّهُ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ
