{{Quote| | {{Quote|[https://quranx.com/Hadith/AbuDawud/Hasan/Hadith-1244 Abu Dawud 1249] (removed from the USC-MSA edition)|"He (the prophet) said, :Go and kill him. I saw him when the time of the afternoon prayer had come. I said : I am afraid if a fight takes place between me and him (Khalid b. Sufyan), that might delay the prayer. I proceeded walking towards him while I was praying by making a sign. When I reached near him, he said to me : Who are you? I replied : A man from the Arabs ; it came to me that you were gathering (any[sp] army) for this man (i.e. the Prophet). Hence I came to you in connection with this matter. … I then walked along with him for a while; when it became convenient for me, I dominated him with my sword until he became cold (dead)."}} | ||
