It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was some harsh exchange of words between Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him): "You speak arrogantly to us only because you accepted Islam a few days before us." When this matter was mentioned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not say anything about my Companions for my sake. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, even if you were to spend gold equal to Mount Uhud or many mountains, you would not reach their deeds, that is, their ranks."
