Not long ago, Sayed Ahmad Al Hassan posted something about Khalid Al Walid and Malik Ibn Nuwayrah. Checking my notes, i found a narration that explain the event: Ibn Kathir records in his famous book al-bidaya wa al-nihaya volume 3 page 715, beriut print, lebanon, Dar al-marifa: ...Khaled called upon Malik Ibn Nuwayrah, warned from what he did by following sajjah, and from not paying the zakat, and said to him do you not know it should be fulfilled like salat? Malik said Your master (Abu Bakr) claims that Khaled said So he is just our Master not your master? Khaled said: O Tharrar chop his head off, then his head got chopped off.He (Khalid) ordered that the head (of Malik) be placed with two stones and inserted into a cooking pot, he (Khalid) then ate from it that night in order to scare the Arabs and others from being apostates...Abu Qutadah spoke to Khaled over what he did, they argued about it. Qutadah then went to complain to Abu Bakr......Umar insisted on complaining to Abu Bakr to withdraw Khaled from the leadership saying he shed innocent blood with his sword Abu Bakr sent after Khaled to come. Khaled came to the madina.....when he entered the mosque Umar came to him and snatched the arrows from the turban of khaled and destroyed it and said to him because of your hypocricy did you kill a muslim man and fornicated with his wife, I swear by Allah I shall stone you . Khaled remained quiet not saying anything, thinking that Abu Bakr well have the same opinion as umar. Khaled then entered on Abu Bakr and apoligized to him and Abu Bakr accepted his apology and over looked what he had done. Khaled left and saw Umar sitting in the mosque, Khaled said to him Come here O Son of Umm Shamlah Umar didnt reply to him because, knowing that Abu Bakr became pleased with him. Abu Bakr thus, left khaled as the leader (of his army). Scans from al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya for ibn Kathir
