'''Khālid b. Sa'īd b. 'Āṣ b. Umayya b. 'Abd Shams''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|خالِد بن سَعید بن | '''Khālid b. Sa'īd b. al-'Āṣ b. Umayya b. 'Abd Shams''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|خالِد بن سَعید بن العاص 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]]. | ||

When Sa'id b. 'As who was an opponent of the Holy Prophet (s) learned that his son, Khalid, converted to Islam, he reproached him, cursed him and hit him hard by breaking his cane on his head and prohibited the rest of his family from talking with him. After that, Khalid went to the Holy Prophet (s) and accompanied him all the time. Sometimes he said [[prayers]] around [[Mecca]] on his own. Since Khalid b. Sa'id insisted on endorsing and following the Holy Prophet (s), his father imprisoned him and held him under the burning sunlight of Mecca. Khalid escaped the prison and hid in areas around Mecca. | When Sa'id b. al-'As who was an opponent of the Holy Prophet (s) learned that his son, Khalid, converted to Islam, he reproached him, cursed him and hit him hard by breaking his cane on his head and prohibited the rest of his family from talking with him.

In the last years of the Holy Prophet (s) life, Khalid b. Sa'id was appointed as the ruler of the area between Najran and Zubayd by the Holy Prophet (s) after Badhan or Badham, the Iranian Muslim ruler of Yemen, died. This appointment seems to have occurred in 10/631, because Farwa b. Musayk al-Muradi and a delegate went to the Holy Prophet (s) in Medina that year, and the Holy Prophet (s) appointed Farwa as the ruler of his tribe (Murad) and Zubayd as well as the Madhhij tribe, and sent Khalid b. Sa'id b. 'As to Yemen together with him as an agent for the collection of charities. | In the last years of the Holy Prophet (s) life, Khalid b.

Sa'id was commissioned by the Prophet (s) to collect taxes in Yemen, and on another account, he was commissioned to collect taxes in Madhhij and was appointed as the agent of [[Sana'a]].
