HISTORY
Before understanding why Umar removed
Khalid from his position as Muslim Commander at expedition to Syria and
Palestine, we must know Khalid s track record at Syria and Palestine when era
of Caliph Abu Bakar As-Shidiq. Khalid became Muslim Commander at Battle Of Yarmouk
, 13 Hijriyya ( 636 AD), and Khalid appointed by Caliph Abu Bakar for became
commander. Khalid leave his expedition at Iraq for lead Muslim Army at Syria.
Khalid conquer several land in his jouney to Yarmouk and he lead Muslim at
Battle Of Yarmouk achieve monumental victory againt Byzantine Army, and when
this battle, Caliph Abu Bakar die at Medina and replaced by Caliph Umar. Caliph
Umar give command to remove Khalid from his position.
Now, we will search, why Umar removed
Khalid from his position, although Khalid is so competent and able to conquer
Palestine, Iraq, and Syria for Rashidun Caliphate?
According Historian Ibn Jarir, factor Umar
removed Khalid from his position is Khalid give
spoils that should became Muslim s assets and used for Muslims businesss,
to Al-Ash ats Ibn Qais before this spoils split into his army and it is report
by one of Muslim Commander, Abu Ubayda to Caliph Umar Ibn Khattab.
Umar call Khalid to Medina, Rashidun Caliphate
Capital and ask Khalid about this. After interogated Khalid, Umar removed
Khalid from his position.
According several Muslim Historian such as
Saif Ibn Umar, Al-Mustawrid, and Adi Ibn Sahl, Umar , after removed Khalid,
write letter to cities that he removed Khalid not because he angry or Khalid is
traitor but becase many people praise Khalid and Umar doesnt want people forget that Allah is almighty.
Historian Hugh Kennedy , assumted Umar removed
Khalid because personal revenge, but it is not valid. Umar, such we explain
above, removed Khalid because Khalid admired many people because his skill at
war and Umar fear army will thinks they win because Khalid, not because Allah s
help.
But, at other side, Hugh Kennedy admired
Khalid s atitude received Umar s command to down position to usual warrior without
anger. An Byzantine general, at this condition, will do a coup for seize throne
from emperor. But, Khalid no. It is mark that Khalid only fight for Allah Subhanahuwataala,
not for position.
From Khalid s atitude, we can learn,
whatever happened, if we became member example at company and our boss is not
friendly, we must still give best dedication to our company, because cuality of
people, determined when he faced unloved things.
