LETTER TO KHALID BIN WALEED (R.A.A.)


In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.



From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah --



To Khalid bin Waleed.



Peace be on you! I praise Allah except whom there is none to be worshipped.



Thereafter, received your letter, through your messenger, in which you have informed about the acceptance of Islam by Bani Al-Haris. I came to know that they have accepted the invitation which you took to them and that they testify that there is none to be worshipped except Allah, the One, who is without an associate and that Muhammad (S.A.W.) is His servant and Prophet.



Allah has honoured them with His guidance. Give them the good news about Paradise and frighten them from Hell.



After performing this work, come here and tell the people to send a deputation to me.



Peace be on you and Kindness of Allah and His blessings



Note: The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) had sent Khalid bin Waleed (R.A.) to the Bani Haris tribe who lived in Yemen with an invitation to embrace Islam. The entire tribe accepted Islam. When Waleed conveyed the good news the Holy prophet (S.A.W.) wrote to him the above letter.
