حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ،‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْهُذَلِيِّ وَكَانَ نَحْوَ عُرَنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَرَفَاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَحَضَرَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لأَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مَا إِنْ أُؤَخِّرِ الصَّلَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَمْشِي وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي أُومِئُ إِيمَاءً نَحْوَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَجْمَعُ لِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَجِئْتُكَ فِي ذَاكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لَفِي ذَاكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ سَاعَةً حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَنِي عَلَوْتُهُ بِسَيْفِي حَتَّى بَرَدَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent me to Khalid bin Sufyan al-Hudhail. This was towards 'Uranah and Arafat. He (the Prophet) said: Go and kill him. I saw him when the time of the afternoon prayer had come. I said: I am afraid if a fight takes place between me and him (Khalid bin Sufyan), that might delay the prayer. I proceeded walking towards him while I was praying by making a sign. When I reached near him, he said to me: Who are you? I replied: A man from the Arabs; it came to me that you were gathering (any army) for this man (i.e. Prophet). Hence I came to you in connection with this matter. He said: I am (engaged) in this (work). I then walked along with him for a while; when it became convenient for me, I dominated him with my sword until he became cold (dead).
