Abu al-Safar said: Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the chief of Banu al-Marazibah at al-Hirah. The people said to him: Be careful lest the non-Arabs give you poison to drink. He said: Bring it to me. Then he took that cup in his hand and drank it; he had recited "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah), and it did him no harm.
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this report, and Imam al-Tabarani recorded something similar. One of al-Tabarani's two chains has the narrators of the Sahih, and
this report is muttasil (connected), and the narrators of both are thiqat (trustworthy); however, the narrators Abu al-Safar and Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa did not hear from Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him). And Allah knows best.
