In the battle of Mu'tah, seven swords were broken in my hand, and all that remained with me was a Yemeni sword. <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
وعن أبي سليمان خالد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال: “لقد انقطعت في يدي يوم مؤته تسعة أسياف، فما بقي في يدي إلا صفيحة يمانية" ((رواه البخاري)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It shows the bravery of Khālid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), whom the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) described as: “One of the swords of Allah which Allah Almighty unsheathed against the disbelievers and hypocrites.” [Narrated by Ahmad]<br>
2) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were steadfast on the battlefield, as they would expect one of two excellent outcomes: victory or martyrdom. It is the example of those people that should be followed.
