The death bed of Khalid Bin Waleed

Khalid Bin Waleed (age 58) speaks to his old friend

Khalid: Do you see a space of the span of a hand...on my leg which is not covered by some scar of the wound of a sword or an arrow or a lance? Do you not see? I have sught martyrdom in a hundred battles. Why could I not have died in battle?

Friend: You could not die in battle.

Khalid: Why not?

Friend: You must understand, O Khalid... that when the Messenger of Allah on whom be the blessings of Allah and peace named you Sword of Allah; he predetermined that you would not fall in battle. If you had been killed by an unbeliever; it would have meant... that Allah's sword has been broken by an enemy of Allah.. and that could never be!!

Subhan'Allah!
