Khalid ibn al-Walid Accepts Islam

Khalid ibn al-Walid, the military genius who had turned the tide at Uhud against the Muslims, traveled to Medina with Amr ibn al-As and Uthman ibn Talhah to accept Islam. The Prophet ﷺ welcomed him warmly and said: 'I always knew your intelligence would lead you to Islam.' The Prophet later titled Khalid 'Sayfullah' (The Sword of Allah). His conversion deprived the Quraysh of their finest military strategist and gave the Muslims an unmatched commander.
