خالد بن سعيد بن العاص
Khalid ibn Said ibn al-'As
Among the First to Embrace Islam, Companion of Two Migrations
له پیغمبر ﷺ سره اړیکه
Khalid was among the very first to respond to the Prophet's ﷺ call, making his bond with the Prophet ﷺ among the deepest and longest-standing of all companions. The Prophet ﷺ valued the early converts especially, knowing the sacrifices they had made when Islam was at its most vulnerable. Khalid's dream-inspired conversion — in which the Prophet ﷺ appeared as his rescuer — is a beautiful symbol of how the Prophet ﷺ was literally the means of salvation for those who came to him in the earliest days of revelation.

بشپړ ژوندلیک
Khalid ibn Said ibn al-As al-Umawi was among the earliest converts to Islam, reportedly the third or fourth person to embrace the faith after Khadijah, Abu Bakr, and Ali. He was from the Banu Umayya clan of Quraysh — the same clan that would later produce the Umayyad caliphs — which made his early conversion particularly notable given his high social standing.
His conversion came after a powerful dream in which he saw himself standing at the edge of a fire and his father trying to push him in, but the Prophet ﷺ taking his hand and pulling him back from the edge. Deeply shaken by this dream, Khalid sought out Bilal and then the Prophet ﷺ, and embraced Islam.
His father Said ibn al-As was furious and disowned him, refusing to support him financially. Khalid bore this with patience and participated in the first emigration to Abyssinia, making him among the very small group of companions who made hijra twice — first to Abyssinia and later to Madinah.
After the Prophet's ﷺ death, Khalid was appointed to a military command during the Ridda (apostasy) wars and the subsequent Syrian campaigns. He was martyred at the Battle of Marj al-Suffar in Syria in 14 AH, leaving a legacy of early faith and loyal service that began literally in the first years of revelation.
