The Battle of Mu'tah was the first major battle fought by Khalid ibn al-Walid after accepting Islam, where he led only 3,000 Muslim soldiers against an army of 200,000 enemy forces. Despite the overwhelming odds, Khalid's strategic brilliance and personal courage earned him the title 'The Sword of Allah.' During the battle, Khalid himself fought valiantly, stating that 'Nine swords were broken in my hand, and nothing remained except a Yemeni blade,' demonstrating his exceptional bravery and leadership under extreme pressure.
