(حَضْرَةُ خَالِدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَبْدٌ صَالِحٌ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى)
(Hazrat Khalid, may Allah be pleased with him, a righteous servant of Allah Almighty)
Hadith Number: 6262
6262 - وعنه قال: نزلنا مع رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - منزلا فجعل الناس يمرون، فيقول رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: من هذا يا ابا هريرة؟ فاقول: فلان. فيقول: نعم عبد الله هذا، ويقول: من هذا؟ فاقول: فلان. فيقول: بئس عبد الله حتى مر خالد بن الوليد فقال: من هذا؟ فقلت: خالد بن الوليد. فقال: نعم عبد الله خالد بن الوليد سيف من سيوف الله . رواه الترمذي.
He said: We alighted at a camping-place along with God's messenger, and when the people began to pass, he was asking, "Who is this, Abu Huraira?" and I would tell him it was so and so. He would then say, "This is a good servant of God.' He would ask about another, and when I told him he was so and so he said, "This is a bad servant of God." This went on till Khalid b. al-Walid passed by, and when he asked who he was and I replied that he was Khalid b. al-Walid, he said, "Khalid b. al-Walid is a good servant of God; he is one of God's swords." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
