Abu Wa'il said: When the time of death drew near for Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I sought martyrdom, but it was not granted to me; now it is only that I shall die on my bed. And among my deeds there is no deed in which I place more trust than La ilaha illallah (none is worthy of worship except Allah); I have made it my shield. Then he said: When I die, take my weapons and my horse and give them in the path of Allah.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this report, and its chain is hasan (good).
