Khālid ibn al-Walīd, byname Sīf, or Sayf, Allāh (Arabic: "Blade of God"), (passed on 642), one of the two commanders (with ʿAmr ibn al-ʿāṣ) of the gigantically effective Islamic extension under the Prophet Muhammad and his prompt replacements, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar. 

In spite of the fact that he battled against Muhammad at Uḥud (625), Khālid was subsequently changed over (627/629) and joined Muhammad in the victory of Mecca in 629; from there on he told various victories and missions in the Arabian Peninsula. After the demise of Muhammad, Khālid recovered various territories that were splitting away from Islam. He was sent northeastward by the caliph Abū Bakr to attack Iraq, where he vanquished Al-Ḥīrah. Intersection the desert, he helped with the triumph of Syria; and, however the new caliph, ʿUmar, officially calmed him of central leadership (for obscure reasons), Khālid stayed the compelling head of the powers confronting the Byzantine militaries in Syria and Palestine. 

Directing the Byzantine militaries, he encompassed Damascus, which gave up on Sept. 4, 635, and pushed toward the north. Right off the bat in 636 he pulled out south of the Yarmūk River before an amazing Byzantine power that exceptional from the north and from the shoreline of Palestine. The Byzantine militaries were made for the most part out of Christian Arab, Armenian, and different helpers, notwithstanding; and when a significant number of these abandoned the Byzantines, Khālid, supported from Medina and potentially from the Syrian Arab clans, assaulted and annihilated the excess Byzantine powers along the gorges of the Yarmūk valley (Aug. 20, 636). Very nearly 50,000 Byzantine soldiers were butchered, which opened the way for some other Islamic successes.
