Volume 4, Book 52, Number 298:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle delivered a sermon and said, “Zaid received the flag and was martyred, then Ja’far
took it and was martyred, then ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha took it and was martyred, and then Khalid bin
Al-Walid took it without being appointed, and Allah gave him victory.” The Prophet added, “I am not
pleased (or they will not be pleased) that they should remain (alive) with us,” while his eyes were
shedding tears.
