Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: You know what happened between 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf and Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with them both), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. Does this mean that Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) is not one of them, or that his rank is lower than theirs?
Answer:
This means that Khalid ibn al-Walid made a mistake. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed it out to him and forbade him from it. He did not persist in this matter of hating 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf or cursing 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf. Far be it from him; no, that is not the case.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
