The Battle of Mutah (8 AH) was the first military engagement in which Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (R.A) fought after accepting Islam. He had embraced Islam shortly before this battle, along with Amr bin Al-Aas (R.A) and Uthman bin Talha (R.A). Though he was not the original commander, after the martyrdom of three successive commanders — Hazrat Zaid bin Haritha (R.A), Hazrat Jafar bin Abi Talib (R.A), and Hazrat Abdullah bin Rawaha (R.A) — Khalid (R.A) took command and skillfully reorganized the Muslim army, earning the title "Saifullah" (Sword of Allah) from the Prophet (PBUH) due to his extraordinary leadership.
The Battle of Mutah took place in 8 AH (629 CE) at Mutah, near the border of Syria. It was fought between a Muslim force of about 3,000 men and a much larger Byzantine-Ghassanid coalition. Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (R.A) was not a Muslim during the earlier battles of Badr, Uhud, and Khandaq; in fact, he fought against Muslims at Uhud as a Quraysh commander before embracing Islam in 7 AH. His conversion and immediate contribution at Mutah marked the beginning of his legendary military career in the service of Islam.
