    وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْزِلًا فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ فَيَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «مَنْ هَذَا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟» فَأَقُولُ: فُلَانٌ. فَيَقُولُ: «نِعْمَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذَا» وَيَقُولُ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَأَقُولُ: فُلَانٌ. فَيَقُولُ: «بِئْسَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذَا» حَتَّى مَرَّ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ. فَقَالَ: «نِعْمَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سيوف الله» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ

    He said: We alighted at a camping-place along with God’s messenger, and when the people began to pass, he was asking, “Who is this, Abu Huraira?” and I would tell him it was so and so. He would then say, “This is a good servant of God.’ He would ask about another, and when I told him he was so and so he said, “This is a bad servant of God.” This went on till Khalid b. al-Walid passed by, and when he asked who he was and I replied that he was Khalid b. al-Walid, he said, “Khalid b. al-Walid is a good servant of God; he is one of God’s swords.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.

    Abu Huraira told that when a man came to God’s messenger and told him he was suffering from distress he sent a message to one of his wives who said, “I swear by Him who sent you with the truth that I have nothing but water. He sent to another who said the same, and when they had all said the same God’s messenger said, “Who will provide entertainment for him? God have mercy on him!” One of the Ansar called Abu Talha got up and said, “I shall, messenger of God.” He then, took him to his house and asked his wife if she had anything, and when she replied that they had nothing but the children’s food he said, “Put them off with something and put them to sleep. Then when our guest enters make him think we are eating, and when he puts forward his hand to eat get up, go to the lamp to adjust it, and put it out.” She did so and they sat down, and the guest ate but they spent the night hungry. In the morning he came to God’s messenger who said, “God is charmed with (or, has smiled on) such and such a man and such and such a woman.” A version has the same without his naming Abu Talha, and at the end it says that God most high then sent down, “And they give preference to others over themselves even though they are suffering poverty[*].” *Quran; 59:9. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Khalid b. al-Walid said: `Ammar b. Yasir and I had words, and when I spoke roughly to him, he went to God’s messenger and complained to him of me. Khalid[*] came when he was complaining to the Prophet and began to speak roughly to him, with the result that he made him all the more angry. The Prophet meanwhile kept silent without speaking a word, so `Ammar wept and said, “Messenger of God, do you not see him?” The Prophet then raised his head and said, “He who is hostile to `Ammar is hostile to God and he who hates `Ammar is hated by God.” Khalid said: I then went out, and there was nothing dearer to me than ‘Ammar’s goodwill, so I treated him in a manner pleasing to him and he was well pleased. Abu `Ubaida told that he heard God’s messenger say, “Khalid is one of the swords of God who is great and glorious, and he is the fine warrior of the tribe.” *Here the narrator of the tradition seems to take over the story till near the end where Khalid himself is again the speaker. Ahmad transmitted the two traditions.
