'''Khālid b. Sa'īd b. 'Āṣ b. Umayya b. 'Abd Shams''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|خالِد بن سَعید بن عاص بن اُمَیَّة بن عَبدشَمس}}) was one of the first people who converted to [[Islam]]. He was a scribe (katib) of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]]. He was the Holy 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]].

==='Umar's Hostility to Khalid===
==='Umar's Hostility to Khalid===
Khalid b. Sa'id's refusal to pledge his allegiance to Abu Bakr made 'Umar b. Khattab hostile to him. Later in many cases, 'Umar appealed to his refusal and dismissed him from different positions. For example, in 13/634, when Abu Bakr wanted to send the army of Islam to [[Syria|al-Sham]], he appointed Khalid b. Sa'id as the commander of the army and gave him the flag. But 'Umar reminded Abu Bakr of Khalid's refusal to pledge his allegiance to him and his remarks in opposition to Abu Bakr and insisted that Khalid should be dismissed. Abu Bakr dismissed Khalid before the army departed. Khalid returned the flag with self-esteem and said: “I swear to God that your appointment did not make me happy and being dismissed by you did not make me sad”.

However, Abu Bakr commissioned Khalid to stay in Tayma', a city in al-Sham (Syria), and organize Arabs in the area for a battle, admitting only those who were not apostates and not fighting except those who fight them. A huge number of people were organized by Khalid. Romans heard the news about his camp and plans. So Romans organized some Arabs of al-Sham, including the tribes of Bahra', Sulayh, Tanukh, Ghassan, Kalb, Lakhm and Judham, to fight them.

Khalid b. Sa'id wrote a letter in this regard to Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr ordered him to move forward cautiously. Khalid b. Sa'id launched an attack and dispersed those tribes and camped in their location. All people in those tribes converted to Islam. A Roman commander, called Bahan, fought Khalid b. Sa'id. In this battle, some Romans were killed and the rest were defeated. Khalid b. Sa'id asked Abu Bakr for aids. Abu Bakr sent aid forces to him under the command of Dhu l-Kila' and 'Akrama b. Abi Jahl. He was also aided by [[Walid b. 'Uqba]]'s army.

On another account, it was Khalid's son who was martyred in the event of Marj al-Suffar and Khalid himself escaped the battlefield. When Khalid fought the Romans and chased Bahan to Marj al-Suffar near [[Damascus]], he was surrounded by Bahan's army. Bahan attacked him and killed Sa'id, Khalid's son, and his companies. When Khalid heard this, he escaped and retreated to Dhu l-Marwa. Abu Bakr told them to stay there so that he can take care of everything. There are different accounts of the dates of the battles of Ajnadayn and Marj al-Suffar and Yarmuk. According to Ibn Qutayba, Khalid died in the [[Battle of Yarmuk]].
