Hadith of Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him)

مُسْنَدُ الشَّامِيِّينَ، حَدِيثُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ (١) (٢)، ١٦٨١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، وَحَدَّثَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ - وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ -، فَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَحْمَ ضَبٍّ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ، وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي جَعْفَرٍ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا هُوَ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ: أَلَا تُخْبِرْنَ (٣) رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَأْكُلُ؟ فَأَخْبَرْنَهُ أَنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ، فَتَرَكَهُ، فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ طَعَامٌ لَيْسَ فِي قَوْمِي، فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ ". قَالَ خَالِدٌ: فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ إِلَيَّ، فَأَكَلْتُهُ، ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ (١)، ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَحَدَّثَهُ: الْأَصَمُّ يَعْنِي يَزِيدَ (١) بْنَ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، وَكَانَ فِي حَجْرِهَا (٢)،

It is narrated from Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he entered the house of Ummul Momineen Maymunah bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her)—who was his maternal aunt—along with the Prophet (ﷺ). She placed before the Prophet (ﷺ) the meat of a lizard, which had been brought from Najd by Umm Hafeed bint Harith, who was married to a man from Banu Ja’far. It was the blessed habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) that he would not eat anything until he had asked what it was. So, one of his wives said, “Why don’t you tell the Prophet (ﷺ) what he is eating?” Upon this, they informed him that it was the meat of a lizard. The Prophet (ﷺ) left it. Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Is it forbidden?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “No! But it is not the food of my people, so I prefer to be cautious about it.” So I pulled it towards myself and began to eat it, and meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) kept watching me.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَخَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ: أَنَّهُمَا دَخَلَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ، فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ، فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ: أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ ضَبٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي، فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ ". قَالَ خَالِدٌ: فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once both of them entered the house of Ummul Momineen Maymunah bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), who was their maternal aunt, along with the Prophet (ﷺ). She placed the meat of a lizard before the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) reached out his hand towards it, or one of his wives said, "Why do you not inform the Prophet (ﷺ) what he is eating?" Upon this, they informed him that it was the meat of a lizard. The Prophet (ﷺ) left it. Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I asked, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Is it forbidden?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "No, but it is not the food of my people, so I prefer to be cautious about it." So I pulled it towards myself and began to eat it, and during this, the Prophet (ﷺ) kept watching me.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ،، ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ كَلَامٌ، فَأَغْلَظْتُ لَهُ فِي الْقَوْلِ، فَانْطَلَقَ عَمَّارٌ يَشْكُونِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ خَالِدٌ وَهُوَ يَشْكُوهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يُغْلِظُ لَهُ، وَلَا يَزِيدُهُ (١) إِلَّا غِلْظَةً، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاكِتٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَبَكَى عَمَّارٌ، وَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَا تَرَاهُ؟ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْسَهُ، قَالَ: " مَنْ عَادَى عَمَّارًا، عَادَاهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ عَمَّارًا أَبْغَضَهُ اللهُ " قَالَ خَالِدٌ: " فَخَرَجْتُ، فَمَا كَانَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ رِضَا عَمَّارٍ، فَلَقِيتُهُ فَرَضِيَ (٢) " قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي،، ،

It is narrated from Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once there was an argument between me and Ammar bin Yasir over something, and I said something harsh to him. Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to complain to the Prophet (ﷺ). Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived there and saw that he was complaining about him to the Prophet (ﷺ), so his tone became even harsher. The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent and did not say anything. Then Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you not see him?" The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his head and said, "Whoever is hostile to Ammar, Allah is hostile to him, and whoever hates Ammar, Allah also hates him." Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when I left from there, nothing was dearer to me than to please Ammar, so I met him and he was pleased.
