Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that during the Battle of Yamama, Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) sent people towards the enemy. They reached the bank of the river, and the enemy attacked the Muslims through a stratagem, causing the Muslims to scatter and retreat. Then Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) bowed his head for a while and then raised it. At that time, I was standing between him and Hazrat Bara. It was Hazrat Khalid’s habit that when an important matter arose, he would look towards the sky for a while and then raise his head towards the sky. Then he would express his opinion. Meanwhile, Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) began to tremble, so I made him lie down on the ground. He said,“O my brother! I want to break my fast.”Then Hazrat Khalid said,“O Bara! Get up.”He asked,“At this time?”Hazrat Khalid replied,“Yes, at this very time.”(2) Then Hazrat Bara mounted his horse and praised and glorified Allah. Then he said,“O people! There is no way to go to Madinah; if there is a way, it is to Paradise.”Then he encouraged them for a while. Then he patted his horse and set off, and the people followed him. (3) Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that there was a mound in the city of the people of Yamama. The chief of Yamama stood on it, and he was a stout and tall man. He began to recite rajaz (war poetry) and said,“I am the chief of Yamama, I am the refuge of its people, and I, I am.”(4) Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he was a wrestler. He attacked Hazrat Bara (may Allah be pleased with him), so Hazrat Bara defended himself with his armor. Then Hazrat Bara struck his shin and killed him. The ruler of Yamama had a broad coat of mail; Hazrat Bara placed his sword and, taking his coat of mail, struck him with it, and it broke. Then he said,“May Allah disgrace that which is between you and me.”Then he took his sword.
