Hadhrat Zuhri reports that after Hadhrat Abu Bakr assumed the office of Khilaafah, some Arabs left the fold of Islaam. Hadhrat Abu Bakr then personally marched against them, but when he reached a watering place near Baqee, he sensed that the safety of Madinah would be jeopardised. He therefore returned to Madinah and placed Allaah's Sword Hadhrat Khaalid bin Waleed bin Mughiera command of an army. Others were recruited to join him and Hadhrat Abu Bakr instruction to him was to march to the locality of the Mudhar tribe, where he was to wage war against all those who forsook Islaam.
He was then to march to Yamaamah to fight Musaylama Kadhaab (false prophet). Hadhrat Khaalid left and it so happened that he first fought Tulayha Kadhaab Asadi (another false prophet), who was joined by Uyaynah bin Hisn bin Hudhayfah Fazaari. Allaah gave the Muslims victory.' When Tulayha saw how badly defeated his troops were, he exclaimed, "Shame on you! Why are you being defeated so?" One of his men replied saying, "I shall inform you of the reason for our defeat. There is not a single man amongst us who does not want his companion to be killed before him. On he other hand, we are fighting people who would love to be killed before their companions."
Tulayha was a furious fighter and martyred both Hadhrat Ukaasha bin Mihsin and Hadhrat Ibn Aq on that day. However, when the truth dawned on Tulayha, he left the battlefield on foot and went on to accept Islaam and enter into the Ihraam for Umrah.. . The narration still goes on.
