It is narrated from Hazrat Khalid bin Urfatah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Khalid! After me, incidents, tribulations, and differences will arise. If you have the strength within you to become one of Allah's servants who is killed and not the killer, then do so.

Abdullah bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with Hazrat Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Khalid bin Urfatah (may Allah be pleased with him). Both of them intended to attend the funeral of a man who had died from a stomach illness. During this, one said to the other, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say that whoever dies from a stomach illness will not be punished in the grave?" The other replied, "Why not (of course he did)."

Hazrat Khalid bin Urfatah (may Allah be pleased with him) said regarding Mukhtar Thaqafi: "He is a liar, and I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever deliberately attributes a false statement to me, then he should make his abode in the Fire of Hell."
