[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and instructed the caller to prayer to announce the congregational prayer. The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Good news, good news, good news! Shall I inform you about your army, this warrior? They have set out and met the enemy, but Zaid was martyred. So, seek forgiveness for him. Then, Ja'far took the banner and fought fiercely against the people until he was martyred. I bear witness to his martyrdom, so seek forgiveness for him. Then, Abdullah ibn Rawaha took the banner and stood his ground until he was martyred. So, seek forgiveness for him. Then, Khalid ibn al-Walid took the banner, even though he was not one of the commanders. The messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, he is a sword among Your swords, so grant him victory." On that day, Khalid was named the Sword of Allah.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَأَمَرَ الْمُنَادِيَ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ثَابَ خَبَرٌ ثَابَ خَبَرٌ ثَابَ خَبَرٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ جَيْشِكُمْ هَذَا الْغَازِي؟ إِنَّهُمُ انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى لَقُوَا الْعَدُوَّ لَكِنْ زَيْدَ أُصِيبَ شَهِيدًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ جَعْفَرٌ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا أَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأَثْبَتَ قَدَمَيْهِ حَتَّى أُصِيبَ شَهِيدًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ضَبْعَيْهِ» وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ هُوَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِكَ فَانْتَصِرْ بِهِ» فَيَوْمَئِذٍ سُمَيَّ خَالِدٌ سَيْفَ اللهِ
