Introduction: Khalid Ibn walid
Nine swords broke in my hand (Khalid Ibn walid)
Nine swords one after the other kept on using nine swords until I finally only had left one Yemeni shield haunted fought
in over 100 skirmishes
50 of them are battles around a dozen of them are what we would call
decisive or major battles in early Islamic history and
Holi the blood Walid is
the most famous
Commander in the history of Islam obviously after our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
There is nobody that is even partially equivalent to him
Nobody took on both of the superpowers at the same time
Marching from one superpower to the other to destroy them in the same month. Think about that
I mean will I think about destroying the assassin over there?
Traveling through the desert and then marching all the way to sham and then starting a series of victories in sham
Who is harder than what if Holly the villain worried is
The son of Alwaleed even el madero.

Epic Story of Khalid Ibn Al-Walid (All The Battles) |
The Physical Appearance of Khalid ibn al-Walid:
He is one of the most famous amongst the minds of the Muslims
hearted or elite in terms of characteristics and how he looked
the books of history mentioned that he was
Relatively light-skinned when the Arabs say lights. Can they don't mean white they mean light brown and
he was
Very similar-looking to her with a real hot dog
so broad shoulders very big beard and
Muscular so you can imagine that the bulkiness of rumor is the strength of a remark
That is also called the blue body the same type of physical stature
which is
Completely what we would expect is the general that he is. You can't be a general and know not to have that type of
body structure now the Panama zoom, which is his tribe the Banu machzorim were known for
Being the most well-trained in the arts of war the bottom of zoom prided themselves on
their elite training and the Banu Muslims typically also had the best weapons Lance and Spears probably go back to the money that
They had so hard it grew up being trained by the same people that trained their fellow bonobos
Ooh
So the venom of zoom was skilled in the arts of war and haunted grew up at a young age
basically learning to ride the horses and using Spears and bows and arrows and Lance and
therefore his
Capacity to if you like, you know be strategic and tactful is coming from an early age
He did not participate in the battle of badr because his father had sent him on a trading expedition
So he actually missed the battle of the badr completely
Ah the next time we hear of course hard, it is in the Battle of Horford
I don't need to tell you what he did in the battle hood.
All The Battles:
That is everybody's knowledge. Right Hadi
the new elite was the one who doubled back and here was the one who
Inflicted and did everything and this shows us his military genius. It shows us is at a young age already
He is far senior too and much more knowledgeable and also opportunist looking at
where to strike one to strike nobody else's thinking like he is thinking and of course, a la semana Zara will use this for the
The benefit of the Ummah so we know what happened in the Battle of uhud
I won't go into all of that in the Battle of
Honda as well, and by the way
so who were the ones in charge of water this Abu Sufyan Abu Sufyan appointed two main sub-commanders and
they were a climber even in Abu jail and
hard individually, and of course Eric Rima and Holly are
Not just best two friends, but also cousins
So the two of them are put in charge and you know, what happens in the Battle of Fort Hood
I don't need to tell you all of that and the Battle of the trench as well
Khalid is assigned one of the flanks. So the fact that the four-h are giving him leadership positions indicates
His status is already known to them
His military geniuses acumen is already known to them and so in the battle of an SAP
Khalid is assigned one of the contingents and it is harlots army and hard it's contingent
That is the only one that managed to break through the defenses and get to the other side
They broke the defenses of the exam and they managed to bring a small troop to the other side
Then the Muslims surrounded them and they debated amongst themselves. They decided to retreat back
But the fact is they did break into the defenses
Unlike everybody else. So once again hala demonstrates his acumen and his knowledge and he is one of the very few who actually
breaks into the side of the
Muslims
Caught it as well is sent at the treaty of hudaibiya
Before I send him to block the profit system from entering Makkah, okay
so remember heard a visa they think they're gonna do a merabh and the profit system is coming with
1,400 of the Sahaba as we know and harden is sent to essentially
Stop his entry into Mecca and the prophet sallallaahu and he said I'm actually out
maneuvers Khalid and manages to bypass carded and
Then came a stone's throw outside of McGorgeous with a BIA
They did not even want the process him to get that close, but they'd be as literally outside, Mecca
They wanted to stop him further out now
This is really interesting because it shows us that no matter how genius and smart Hadid was obviously our profit system
outsmarted him
Our prophecies have outsmarted him and he did not allow Holly to stop them. He rather took
Evasion Airi tactics and managed to get around holla'd and then get essentially right to almost the door of Mecca
Which is heard a B, which is the plain rug right outside of Mecca, and it was the next year
so this is per day took place that the treaty to police the sixth year in the seventh year and the seventh year of
the Hydra this is when holden really began to think of converting to Islam and
Eventually, of course, he meets up with armor at the house and is remanded until the hammer
Okay, and they also had decided as we went over their stories in well
They also decided to convert to Islam and leave
In the middle of the night and this three as we said over and over again is the last batch of conference
before the conquest of Makkah and his brother welcomes him and the Prophet SAW was very eager to welcome him back and
Within a few weeks within a month and a half
The battle of muta is taking place in the Battle of Malta and the prophet sallallaahu
I said have had a pointed Zaida
Zaida
He appointed safe as the commander and he says if Zaid is killed then
Jaffa and if Jonathan is killed and Abdullah bin a while and I mean call us three is enough for me
how much more do you need right of course what happens when you get to the Battle of Mota and
The Romans are prepared. And this was the first time the Muslims met the actual Romans, right?
actual Roman soldiers
Participated in the Battle of Mactan. This was the first time the Muslims Congo
interacted with the Roman Empire the Byzantine Empire and
They were not expecting the actual visiting Empire to come they were expecting the Arabs who were allies of the Byzantines to come
But the Arabs the tribe panicked and called in the Roman troops the Muslims were not prepared to face the Roman troops
they weren't trained to face the Roman troops and so a bloodbath ensues and
Of course, Zaid is killed
Jaffa is killed and Abdullah is killed
All three are killed and the Muslims
Do a hasty retreat and whoever is left alive
now they need to do something and they're surrounded and they're outnumbered and the one they have no clue what to do and
They look around and they say - harder than we need you're in charge
It says I'm just a new Muslim which he was. He's barely a month old. I'm not at that level
I'm not I'm not capable and they insisted that we have no option. You have to be internal and
So he takes the leadership
Hesitantly. So what appears to be the case is that the khana dividend will need he realized that there is no way to achieve actual victory
And that the only real victory would be to preserve the Muslim army from complete destruction by Massacre
So what did he do? He has a two-pronged tactic
The first tactic was that he organized the army for a quick
short-term attack and the purpose of this was to cause the Romans to stop from their
onslaught so he wanted to just launch a quick attack to pause the Romans and cause them to stop in their
onslaught and
How did he do this again?
We only have one narration
but I'm sure there were other things that he did one of the things that are mentioned is that he
strategically positioned the archers so that the archers were able to stop the onslaught of the
Romans from coming and so a group of archers basically were the primary
The method that was used and there's no doubt that there was a direct onslaught as well
And this is mentioned by holding himself inside Buhari
He says that on the day of the muta, nine swords broke in his hand nine swords one after the other kept on using nine swords
Until I finally only had left one Yemeni shield
So we from this we derived that there was also an onslaught there was also an attack on the ground on infantry
and this was led by Khalid, bin Alwaleed and what this did was that by the time night fell the two armies had managed to
Separate themselves outside of the distance of a bow and arrow
So they are now safe from the bows and arrows throughout the night
The two armies are now within visual sight but not within the sight of bows and arrows
And so when night fell the Muslims are at least safe for the time being and they took shelter behind
A hill and it was on that evening that finally, the martyrs could be varied
So the bodies had been lying there for the entire day
so in the evening, that was when the marches could be varied and the three of the leaders and
He then devises an ingenious tactic and that tactic was in the middle of the night. He sent
Groups of Muslims far away and told them to start arriving at particular times of the day
okay, so it appeared from the Roman side that
reinforcements were coming
The next morning opener wakes up and they see
One batch arrives and then a few hours later another batch arrives then a few hours later another batch. So the impression is given that
The support is coming
So the Romans paused now because the goal their goal was to come and attack and that's that they'd be done with
Kill all the Muslims the Roman pause like we we we darken attack what's happening to the next Knights?
Caught it in the troops disappeared into the desert
They withdraw back now. This is
Not a victory in the sense of a political victory. It is a victory in the sense of avoiding
annihilation
avoiding massacre
so the Muslims managed to manage to
survive escape and that's why when the
Muslims returned some of the hypocrites those who didn't even go out fighting they mocked
Hotter than what Ian and the others and they said oh you fled from the battle
You turned your backs on the army and you fled from battle and the profit system said
He only turned his back to turn it back again one more time
Like he came to go back
Because if he hadn't come back, then he couldn't have gone back
right
but the fact of the matter is
What haunted him and what he'd managed to do was to save the bulk of the Muslim army from what otherwise would have been
a complete disaster or catastrophe
So much so that only a handful of Sahaba passed away
We know the names of around 15 probably another five or ten whose names we do not know
so the fact of the matter is out of
3,000 people
1% basically passed away 1% and that is a alhamdulillah a very very
Great, if you like victory in its own way that faced with the odds that they were faced with the superior fighting power
still, the fact that less than 1% of the army actually passed away and there or died and the rest of them returned and
This was also when the Prophet SAW's son called him to say football
This is the title of the Battle of Mactan
is when our process and when did he call them safe along the day that Khalid did his tactic and
Weeks before they arrived back in the day
and then he said until
One of these swords of Allah took the banner and Allah gave them victory and his hands
Had Ahad 'his a phone min. So you feel as if the traces embody a
Sword from the swords of Allah took the banner and Allah gave them victory
So from this, we get the famous title Khalid ibn Walid
Saiful long. He was one of the primary
leaders of the conquest of Mecca
He was one of them the processed and put in charge of one of the flanks in the conquest of Mecca
when matka is conquered
Actually, the only group that actually encountered resistance was the group of hardened Walid and it was hot as a group who then had to fight
A few people who actually fought against them
So a little bit of bloodshed have heard and it was legitimate because they were attacked
So remember the majority of Meccans just stayed in their houses
Khaled's
Entourage was attacked by a small group the mob and then they had to fight back
And so that was the only blood that was shed in the conquest of Makkah
Then the Prophet SAW sent him to thought if we participated in human as well. So now we have of course
hardened Walid in the time of the whole affair Raja Doon
and as soon as I will consider charging what happened the Battle of the Wars of rid began to take place and
the wars of rid
Abu Bakr Siddiq assigned Khalid, ibn Walid to take charge of the largest
indirections against the Muslim Empire at the time and
These were from people who thought they had SAT
Like said ja like the Neddy tribes and of course, the most important was that of Hussein al Khattab
Who did salem al Khattab had the largest?
following from the tribes of Yamamah
And Hardy Buell defeated
They in the battle of Yamamah and the Battle of Yamamah. We mentioned many weeks ago
This was the battle that triggered the collection of the Quran. This was a 70 of the whose father died on vaca
so they decided to
Collect the Quran so holiday, everybody was the primary general throughout the Wars of the Reta
once the words of the did that had subsided and
Especially the biggest one the largest one which is the Battle of Yamamah
Under Misenum al-kitab and the imamate takes place in Najd in central Arabia
as soon as your mama finishes abu bakr then sends a letter to father then Walid and
Says you have to go and fight the Persians. So from central Arabia Hollett goes to Persia to fight the Persians and
Here is where harlots ascent to fame truly begins up until this point in time
Carted is above average and he's doing great work
It is in the next 2-3 years and it is literally in two-three years
All of this can take place when he fights over forty battles
Each one of them is greater than the previous one and he opens up the doors of two
superpowers of the time and it's going to begin right now with the sending of Honolulu to
Sassanid Persia and in the year
633 a sec. Sorry 633 C which is 22 an H
This is the year now that hardened Walid is now
Battling in the province of what is now Iraq?
What is now southern Iraq and several battles take place?
I have decided not to go over each in every battle because that would honestly get very
boring and very
Technical, but we'll just kind of mention two or three famous
Incidents in particular or two or three tactics that hearted used in the battles that he participated in Iraq
And the battles in Iraq would they conquer the major cities on the borders of Riviera?
and the province of Ambar and the City of Hera all of these were conquered in the first year that hot it is sent to
Iran and the very first of these battles is called the Battle of Chains the Battle of Chains
The market is the cell acid and why is it called the Battle of chains?
It's called the Battle of chains of Selassie because the Romans sorry the Persian Empire
Decided to chain, their soldiers up in ranks all together so that they could act like a fortress together
so all of the Persian soldiers were actually chained together to form a
solid block now
Condit's forces were much smaller
Then those of the Sassanids the Persians and the Sassanids were better equipped
They were better armed. They had thicker armor as well. This is Persian artillery Persian warfare Persian armor
The leader of the Persians his name was hormones and hormones
Was killed in a one-on-one with hotter than Willy hard challenged him to a duel and this was another tactic of Holi
because the Arabs had this tactic of duels, so hold will always challenge one of their leaders and
Obviously hardly being who he is
He manages to kill the leader even though by the way, almost tried to do a sly plot
Which was illegal and that to have some of his armed guards attack Khalid technically supposed to be one-on-one
You're not supposed to you know, bring anybody else and that would be cheating
But holy Moses had told his elite bodyguards look I'm just gonna stand there
You guys come and you basically deal with harlot it will be basically it's treachery because that's not the rules of the game
You know when you have the arm-to-arm combat, it's supposed to be one-on-one. But I almost decided to betray this and
I would have been house and others saw this from afar that something is happening
So they essentially brought a contingent and they defeated the armed guards before they came and the horn wasn't haunted
Had a one-on-one and Hormuz could not win against Khalid
ibn, Alwaleed, and haunted ended up killing Hormuz and with the death of Hormuz, the entire sedan army was obviously
Traumatized was taken into chaos, and they were tied hand to hand foot to foot
So they have nowhere to run and so-called forces decimated them. There was a massive victory
for the ranks of the Muslims and
this led hall to the next battle and this is called the Battle of that narrow the Battle of the river and
Again interesting tactics were used
one of the tactics that hearted used in this battle was that he
utilized the element of surprise
Essentially he arrived at the battlefield before
the army had mobilized only when parts of the army had come he managed to travel non-stop and
Get to the area of the battle before the rest of the army had arrived and the army is still setting up their camps there
battalions their fortresses their
Minea which is their catapult
They're sending all of these up and calling it gets there before
The army finishes even setting up much less arriving and obviously, the full army isn't even there
so hold managed to gain another victory as well, and this was called the Battle of the river a
The third battle the Battle of one Adger all of these are battles that are leading to the Odyssey of Odyssey is gonna come
Odyssey is the big battle and Hollywood is paving the way in the battle of what a gia
this is where
Khalid ibn Alwaleed is credited with one of his most genii moves the Battle of what a heh was one of the
decisive battles in which
The Roman Emperor. Kisara is sending in one of the largest armies that have yet to fight the Muslims
harder than what he did barely had a third some say even a fourth some say even a fifth of the army of the
Persians always that Muslims are less than the
Persians and even the Romans and
Khalid ibn Walid
undertakes a tactic that is actually a well-known and well study tactic to this day and
The annals of war and the books of history of war actually have a name for this tactic and this is called the pincer
movement pincer movement and this pincer movement
It is mentioned by many famous military tacticians going back to soon zoo in the art of war if you know the famous Chinese
General who wrote one of the first military books ever written in the history of mankind called Sun Tzu's Art of War and in the
Art of war he actually mentions this pincer tactic
He doesn't call it the pincer tactic, but he discourages it and he says this is a dangerous tactic
Because your army will likely flee before the end of the battle
It's that dangerous your own army will flee so he discourages it
Historically speaking. This tactic has also been used by some of the greatest military commanders in the history of mankind
Alexander the Great used this tactic Hannibal the Conqueror fought against the Romans Hannibal the famous Hannibal
One of the most famous military generals in history who fought against the Romans and won them. He also won
Using this tactic, which is whether the pincer
tactic and to this day in every book of war you have chapters detailing the pincer tactic and what it was used and
Harden and Walid are mentioned as one the people who used this tactic as well in this battle of furniture
Now, what is interesting? Yes. This tactic is studied at Sandhurst. It is studied at West Point
But how did well he did not go through Sandhurst? He didn't go through West Point
He did not study Sun Tzu's Art of War. He did not study Hannibal's you-know tactics
How did he come across this honestly, we have to say Allah azza wajal blessed him with it
He did not go through these training and yet he came across that tactic
Now, what exactly is practically mentioning the pincer tactic although long? What exactly is it?
Well, I'm not an expert in these fields, but just to write in simple layman's terms
I am a layman and I think all of us are lame here when it comes to military tactics
So in layman's terms from one layman to the rest of you all
this move is basically called the pincer tactic because
the goal is to pinch the army to spread yourself thin and
To encircle or at least pinch the army from multiple sides
Now this is a huge risk and gamble because to do that you have to spread extra thin
So if you are fortified and you have rows of a hundred, let's say to do the pincer tactic
You're gonna have to go down two rows of 20
Maybe so you have to spread very thin and what this means is your casualties will be great
and that's why soon zoo said it should not really be done because it will lead to a lot of
Massacres or your troops might flee but
what is the positive is that you're able to maximize a small group against a larger group and
you throw the larger group into chaos, because
They are not expecting to be attacked from the sides. They're expecting to be attacked from the front all armies
Line up to attack from the front
back and they have their techniques and their tactics and they have the arrows in the back and the Lances in the front and
The swords are in the middle. They have a row in this manner, right the pincer tactic essentially
Disrupts the layers of an army and brings about chaos by attacking from the sides
rather than from the
front and this is very dangerous because as I said, you have to make yourself very thin to maximize your
Potential against the army. Well, in this case, it worked and it was a resounding victory
it was a resounding victory and therefore this battle becomes one of the standard battles that has been studied to this day in many books of
Histories of battles and war tactics about how to use the pincer effect to the maximum advantage
and again
It's interesting hearted
even when he'd never studied this it just was something that Allah blessed him with and
one of the battles as well as the Battle of a release which was really
They said this was the bloodiest battle ever fought up until that point in time in Islamic history
It was a fierce battle and Hani literally decided to do something that was to prove controversial
Among some later historians, but at the time it makes complete sense
He basically said after he won the battle no prisoners of war and what does that mean?
Everybody was executed. What's the point of doing that at this point in time? What is wisdom?
This is meant to inflict fear in the ranks of the Sassanids because he has he hasn't he has an empire to conquer
Remember we still haven't even come too hard to see
Yeah, this is pre-Cardassia. Right and he's winning one two, three, four, five six mini-battles and
His troops are not enough to take on the entire
The sassanid empire he needs to send a message
and in this battle
No doubt
There is no doubt that a lot of people were killed after hotted won
The standard tactic is to take prisoners of war now the Sharia
Now we talked about this many times like look Islamic law is different from modern warfare
and
What should a modern Muslim country do in modern warfare is something that modern scholars have to discuss and it is my opinion that yes
We are allowed to go and rethink these laws. No problem
Well, this is one of those things that essentially when the Muslims won Condit said no, no prisoners this time, no prisoners
so essentially
Maybe ten thousand people and these are all by the way, these are not civilians. These are clearly army people
I mean that's not we're not talking about killing civilians. But nonetheless, the Geneva Convention would say once the war is over
What should you do?
Take them prisoners and treat them humanely until whatever needs to be done
You know pretty imprison them and then hand them back. Whatever needs to be done. Well, that's the Geneva Convention pre-Geneva Convention
There was no such law in place and harder than all the alarms in the initiative
Which is fully legitimate for the time in place, and it had the desired impact
even kiss law
Retreated back into the land
It had the desired impact that you're sending the message that
We are not a trivial force barely a year ago. It was the Roman Emperor. Sorry. It was the Persian
General that was saying to Sodom. Maybe we'll class. What are you doing here go back
Remember, he was the one what are you doing you go back we're gonna ignore this ever happened
now the Muslims are here and they're sending the message that we are going to we are going to
State so harder than what it essentially opens the way up
To conquer the
capital of
The assassin empire and please everybody should know what is the capital of this asset Empire?
