حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبِ بْنِ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ عَقَدَ لِخَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي
أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ عَقَدَ لِخَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ وَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: نِعْمَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَأَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَسَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللهِ سَلَّهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ.
