Asslamoalaikum, sisters brothers and friends we are discribing biography of Sahabierasool HAZRAT KHAALID IBN AL-WALID,Part-5

Undoubtedly the courageous Muslims, on that day, were gripped by fearand anxiety, yet in such Predicaments they always resorted to their faith,in which they found hope and victory. Notwithstanding the might of the Roman armies, the experienced Abu Bakr had firm belief in Khaalid's abilities; therefore he said, "Khaalid is the man for it. By Allah, I will rid them oftheir doubts with Khaalid."

Let the Romans parade their terrifying, enormous forces, for the Muslims had the antidote. Ibn Al- Waliid mobilized and rallied his army, then divided it into brigades. He laid out a new plan for attack and defense that adhered to the Roman war strategy and tactics with which he was well-acquainted from his past experience with the Persians. He was ready for all possibilities. Strangely enough, the battle raged exactly as he had imagined it would, step by step and one fight after another. If he had actually counted the number of strokes of swords, he would not have been much more accurate. Beforethe two armies clashed, he was worried about the possibility that some ofthe soldiers, especially those who had newly embraced Islam, might fleeupon seeing the terrifying and enormous Roman army.

Khaalid believed that the ingenuity of victory and firmness were one and the same. He believed that the Muslim army could not afford the loss ofeven one of its soldiers, for it was enough to spread malignant panic andhavoc inside the army, which was something that even the entire Roman armycould not succeed in doing. In consequence, he was extremely firm concerninganyone who deserted his post and weapon and ran away. In the Battle of Yarmuuk, in particular, and afterwards, his troops took their positions. He called the Muslim women and, for the first time, gave them swords. He ordered them to stand at the rear of the lines to "Kill anyone who flees." It was the magictouch of a mastermind.

Shortly before the battle erupted, the Roman commander asked Khaalid to show himself, for he wanted a few words with him. Khaalid rode towards him, then they galloped to the area that separated the two armies. Mahan, theRoman commander, addressed Khaalid saying, "We know that nothing but wearinessand hunger made you leave your country and go on this expedition. If youwish, we shall give ten dinars, clothes, and food to every one of you, onone condition, that you return to your country and next year we will do thesame.

Khaalid gnashed his teeth, as he was provoked by his flagrant lack ofmanners, yet he repressed himself and answered confidently, "We didn't leaveour country out of hunger as you said, but we heard that Roman blood isvery delicious and tasty, so we have decided to quench our thirst with it."

Swiftly, the hero rode back to the ranks of his army and raised the Muslim standard to the full length of his arm, then he launched the attack. Allahu akbar. Let the breeze of Paradise blow!

At once, his army was like a missile as it charged into the battlefield.They met in an extraordinary, monstrous, and deadly combat. The Romans rushedinto the battlefield with an enormous number, yet they found that theirfoes were not an easy prey. The self-sacrifice and firmness that the Muslimsdisplayed on that day were impressive.

In the first place, one of the Muslim soldiers rushed to Abu `UbaidahIbn Al-jarraah (May Allah be pleased with him) during the battle and said,"I have set my mind on martyrdom. Do you want me to take a message to theProphet (PBUH) when I meet him?" Abu `Ubaidah answered, "Yes, tell him wehave indeed found true what our Lord had promised us." Immediately, theman darted like an arrow into the horrors of the battlefield. He craveddeath; therefore, he fought fiercely with one sword while thousands of swordswere thrusted into him until he won martyrdom.

Secondly, Ikramah lbn Abu Jahl - yes, he was the son of the infamous Abu Jahl. He called out to the Muslims when the Romans were killing anyone who came within the sweep of their swords and said, "I fought against the Prophet before Allah guided me to Islam, so how can I possibly be afraid of fighting Allah's enemy after I submitted myself to Islam?"
