khalid ibn al-walid ("khalid son of al-walid") was from the meccan tribe of quraysh, from a clan that initially opposed muhammad. he played a vital role in the meccan victory at the battle of uhud against the muslims. he converted to islam, and joined muhammad after the treaty of hudaybiyyah and participated in various expeditions for him, such as the battle of mu'tah, which was the first battle between the romans and the muslims. khalid ibn al-walid reported that the fighting was so intense, that while fighting, he broke nine swords in the battle. this earned him the title ‘saif-ullah' meaning ""the sword of allah"". khalid took over after zayd ibn haritha, then jafar ibn abi talib, then abdullah ibn rawahah were killed. after muhammad's death, he played a key role in commanding medinan forces for abu bakr in the ridda wars, conquering central arabia and subduing arab tribes. he captured the sassanid arab client kingdom of al-hirah, and defeated the sassanid persian forces during his conquest of iraq (mesopotamia). he was later transferred to the western front to capture roman syria and the byzantine arab client state of the ghassanids.
