Khalid b. Sa'id: Difference between revisions

'''Khālid b. Sa'īd b. 'Āṣ b. Umayya b. 'Abd Shams''' (Arabic: خالد بن سعید بن عاص بن امیة بن عبدشمس) was one of the first people who converted to Islam. He was a scriber (katib) of [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. He was the Prophet (s)'s agent in [[Yemen]]. After the Prophet (s)'s demise, he resigned from this position and preferred not to work for the [[The Three Caliphs|caliphs]]. Khalid b. Sa'id was one of the 12 people who did not pledge their [[allegiance]] with [[Abu Bakr b. Abi Quhafa]]; And this led to [['Umar b. Khattab]], the second caliph, standing against him. There is a disagreement among historians over the date and place of his [[martyrdom]].
