It is narrated from Qays bin Abi Hazim that he said: I heard Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "On the day of the battle of Mu'tah, nine swords broke in my hand, and nothing remained in my hand except a single Yemeni blade." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. Moreover, the two Shaykhs agreed on the hadith of Humayd bin Hilal from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the battle of Mu'tah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Zayd bin Harithah took the banner and was martyred, then Ja'far took it and was also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah took it and was also martyred." After that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) to Mu'tah.
