Hadith #42
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْب
ٍ 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

English Translation
It was narrated from Wahshi bin Harb (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Bakr appointed Khalid bin al-Waleed as commander to fight the apostates and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “What a good slave of Allah and member of the tribe Khalid bin al-Waleed is! one of the swords of Allah that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has unsheathed against disbelievers and hypocrites.`
