There was one
kafir
soldier who
was a very skilled fighter and many
Muslims died at his hands. But a
brave Muslim soldier fearlessly
charged straight at him. He was
Usama bin Zaid [r], the beloved
Companion of the Prophet [s].
Usama [r] was an excellent swords-
man and the
kafir
soldier was no
match for him. The
kafir
fell to the
ground, and just as Usama [r]
raised his sword to strike his head
off, the
kafir
soldier cried out, “
La
ilaha illa-llah, There is no god
except Allah!
”
The man seemed to pretend to
become Muslim only out of fear for
death. Usama wasted no time to
strike his head off killing him instant-
ly.
The Muslims won the battle that day
and when the good news was
brought back to the Holy Prophet [s]
