[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Indeed, Allah created this city on the day He created the heavens and the earth. He fashioned it when He fashioned the sun and the moon. And whatever comes down from the sky upon it is unlawful (forbidden). And it is not permissible for anyone before me. It was permissible only for me for a period of time during the day, then it returned to its original state." It was said to him, "This is Khalid ibn Al-Walid who kills." He said, "Stand up, O Fulan, go to Khalid ibn Al-Walid and tell him to stop killing." So the man went to him and said, "Indeed, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ says, 'Kill those whom you are able to kill.' So he killed seventy people." Then the Prophet ﷺ was informed of that, and he sent a message to Khalid saying, "Did I not prohibit you from killing?" He replied, "So and so came to me and ordered me to kill those whom I was capable of killing." So the Prophet ﷺ sent a message to him saying, "Did I not order you?" He replied, "I intended an action and Allah intended an action, and the command of Allah is above your command. And I was only able to do what I did." So the Prophet ﷺ remained silent and did not reply to him.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ خَلَقَ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّماَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَصاغَهُ حِينَ صاغَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَمَا حِيَالَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَرَامٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَإِنَّمَا حَلَّ لِي سَاعَةً منْ نَهَارٍ ثُمَّ عَادَ كَمَا كَانَ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَذَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ يَقْتُلُ قَالَ قُمْ يَا فُلَانُ فائتِ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ فَلْيَرْفَعْ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ فَأَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اقْتُلْ مَنْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَتَلَ سَبْعِينَ إِنْسَانًا فَأُتِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى خَالِدٍ فَقَالَ «أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْقَتْلِ؟» فَقَالَ جَاءَنِي فُلَانٌ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْتُلَ مَنْ قَدَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ «أَلَمْ آمُرْكَ؟» قَالَ أَرَدْتَ أَمْرًا وَأَرَادَ اللهُ أَمْرًا فَكَانَ أَمَرُ اللهِ فَوْقَ أَمْرِكَ وَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ إِلَّا الَّذِي كَانَ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا
