When 'Umar b. Khattab visited [[Syria]] in 17/638 he apologized to Khalid b. Walid. According to one narration he was also appointed by 'Umar as the governor of a number of cities including Ruha, Harran, Raqqa, Talmazan and Amid, where he stayed for a year. According to another narration, Khalid was appointed by Abu 'Ubayda as the ruler of Qinnasrin. During that time he attacked border regions of Romans numerously in Anatolia and gained massive plunders. When 'Umar b. Khattab was informed of Khalid's generosities of plunders he gained, especially the large amount of money he gave to [[Ash'ath b. Qays]], he was irritated and ordered Abu 'Ubayda to discharge Khalid and investigate him about the money he collected. Later, half of Khalid's properties were seized by 'Umar. | When 'Umar b.
