Hadith #44546
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَقَدَ لِخَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَأَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ سَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ.
Ali bin Ayyash narrated to us, Al-Walid bin Muslim narrated to us, Wahshi bin Harb narrated to me, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, Wahshi bin Harb, that Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, made a contract with Khalid bin Al-Walid to fight the people of apostasy and said, “I heard the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.” He greeted and said, “What a wonderful servant of God and the brother of the clan, Khaled bin Al-Walid, and a sword from God’s swords. May God Almighty grant him peace against the infidels and hypocrites.”
