The Biography of the sword of Allah “Khalid bin Walid” MAPH (Part 36)
The defeat of the army of infidelity and the victory of the army of Islam
Imam Ibn Kasir Dimashqi, may Allah have mercy on him, writes: After the death of Hormuz, the army of Islam attacked the army of infidels and destroyed them all. Even the commanders on the right and left side of Hormuz named Qabaz and Anushjan did not survive and could not escape; Rather, they lost their proud souls in the same battle and were deprived of the false promises of Hormuz and the Iranians.
All the Mujahideen were happy with this victory and spent the night with the stinking corpses of the enemy until morning. At that time, Hazrat Khalid, MAPH, seized the opportunity, did not neglect, did not rest, and rushed towards them to protect the spoils of war and weapons. He took away various weapons in the possession of Muslims and took almost a thousand fat camels as booty. As mentioned before, Hormuz had a very valuable and beautiful hat that was studded with various jewels and was valued at a thousand dirhams. It was also among the spoils and a very big elephant was also included in it.
He took all the people and took them to an area where there was a big bridge [nowadays that bridge belongs to the city of Basra] so that they could rest and continue the Jihad in the way of Almighty Allah and widen the circle of Islam with their machine gun conquests.
He took all the booty, wrote a letter to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq, MAPH, and gave him the good news of the victory over the enemy, and took all that booty, khums, and an elephant, along with Hazrat Zar Ibn Kalib, to the city of Medina, to the presence of the first caliph, Hazrat Siddique Akbar, MAPH. sent.
When Zar Ibn Kalib entered the beautiful city of Madinah with an elephant and all the spoils, the women of that land were very surprised to see the elephant and whispered these words in their language: «أمن خلق الله هذا أم شئ مصنوع؟»?’ “Did Allah Almighty create this elephant or is it something that made by itself?”
The precious crown of Hormuz goes to Hazrat Khalid, MAPH
Hazrat Siddique, MAPH, was very pleased and happy with this conquest and victory, and he again sent Zar ibn Kalib’s with that crown to Khalid, MAPH, and gave it to him as a reward.
Truly, Hazrat Khalid, may Allah be pleased with him, deserves more than this crown, and this is only in the affairs of this world; But his position in the eyes of the Lord of the worlds is higher than this.
Hazrat Imam Jafar Abu Abdul Hamid says: «أن خالد بن الوليد فقد قلنسوة له يوم اليرموك، فقال: اطلبوها. فلم يجدوها»؛”Hazrat Khalid, MAPH, lost that valuable crown in the battle of Yarmouk, he ordered the people to find it, the people searched; But unfortunately, they could not find it.
Conquest of castles and siege around Kazimeah, and etc.
Imam Ibn Kasir says: «بعث خالد الامراء يمينا وشمالا يحاصرون حصونا هنالك ففتحوها عنوة وصلحا، وأخذوا منها أموالا جمة، ولم يكن خالد يتعرض للفلاحين -من لم يقاتل منهم- ولا أولادهم بل للمقاتلة من أهل فارس»؛”After the defeat of the enemy, Hazrat Khalid, MAPH, sent his commanders to the right and left sides to surround all the enemy’s castles there, they conquered all those castles, some of them by force and war, and some were conquered by compromise and agreement, and from there they obtained huge wealth.
During the siege of the forts and their conquest, Hazrat Khalid, MAPH, along with the Mujahideen, did not attack any farmer who wasn’t involved in the war, nor did they have anything to do with the children of the enemy. Rather, it was the jihad of those nobles with Persian warriors, who had come out with the intention of war.
The people of Kazimeah and its surroundings embraced Islam
Imam Balazri, may Allah have mercy on him, writes: “After the defeat of the enemy and the conquest of parts of Iraq Ajam, the people of that land converted to Islam, and then Hazrat Khalid, MAPH, left there.”
The relation of the name “Zat al-Salasel” to this battle
Imam Ibn Kasir, may Allah have mercy on him, writes: «سميت هذه الغزوة ذات السلاسل لكثرة من سلسل بها من فرسان فارس.» This war was named “Zat al-Salasel”; Because the Persian troops were very much connected with chains, so as not to disintegrate.
