[Machine] That Khaled Ibn Saeed, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Yemen, he arrived after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and waited for two months to pledge allegiance to Khaled Ibn Saeed. He said, "The Prophet ﷺ commanded me, but did not dismiss me until Allah Almighty took him. I met Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Othman Ibn Abd Manaf and said, "O sons of Abd Manaf, you have left yourselves out of your affairs, leaving it to others." Omar conveyed this to Abu Bakr, but Abu Bakr did not take it upon himself. However, Omar did and he sent troops to Sham (Greater Syria). The first person to lead one fourth of the troops was Khaled Ibn Saeed. Omar said, "Should I give instructions to him when he has already done what he did and said what he said?" Abu Bakr remained in power until he dismissed him and ordered Yazid Ibn Abi Sufyan, "Authentic according to the stipulations of Muslim, and he did not exclude it." This is the end of the quote.
