وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَارِثِ ، سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، ثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ يَعْنِي الشَّعْبِيَّ ، قَالَ : وَكَتَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى خَالِدٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - يَعْنِي يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ وَقَتْلِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ - أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِلَى الْحِيرَةِ ثُمَّ يَمْضِيَ إِلَى الشَّامِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الْحِيرَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ فَارِسَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا أَبْرَحَ حَتَّى أُفْزِعَهُمْ ، فَأَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى سُورَا ، فَقَتَلَ وَسَبَى ، ثُمَّ أَغَارَ عَلَى عَيْنِ التَّمْرِ فَقَتَلَ وَسَبَى ، ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى الشَّامِ .
قَالَ عَامِرٌ يَعْنِي الشَّعْبِيَّ : فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ ابْنُ بُقَيْلَةَ - يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْمَسِيحِ الْحِمْيَرِيَّ - كِتَابَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَيْهِمْ : بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، مِنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى مَرَازِبَةِ فَارِسَ ، سَلَامٌ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ : فَإِنِّي أَحْمَدُ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ، بِالْحَمْدِ الَّذِي هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، الَّذِي فَصَلَ حُرُمَكُمْ ، وَفَرَّقَ جَمَاعَتَكُمْ ، وَوَهَّنَ بَأْسَكُمْ ، وَسَلَبَ مُلْكَكُمْ ، فَإِذَا جَاءَكُمْ كِتَابِي هَذَا ، فَاعْتَقِدُوا مِنِّي الذِّمَّةَ ، وَأَدُّوا الْجِزْيَةَ ، وَابْعَثُوا إِلَيَّ بِالرُّهُنِ ، وَإِلَّا ، فَوَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّكُمْ بِقَوْمٍ ، يُحِبُّونَ الْمَوْتَ كَحُبِّكُمُ الْحَيَاةَ ، وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى .
( 210 ) وَحَدِيثُ نَضْلَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فِي فَتْحِ حُلْوَانَ يَأْتِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْفِتَنِ .

It is narrated from Amir al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Rightly Guided Caliph Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), in the days of the Battle of Yamamah and the ending of the apostasy (riddah), sent Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) a written order to advance towards al-Hirah and then proceed from there towards Syria. When Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) encamped at al-Hirah, he wrote to the people of Persia and said: "I would like not to move from here until I have struck terror into them." So he launched raids on them until he reached a place called Sura; there he killed the enemy and took captives. Then he raided Ayn al-Tamr, fought there too and took captives, and after that he set off towards Syria.
Imam Amir al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) states that Ibn Buqaylah (that is, Abd al-Masih al-Himyari) produced before me the original letter of Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Persia, whose text was as follows: Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever-Merciful). From Khalid bin al-Walid to the marzubans (chiefs) of Persia. Peace be upon whoever follows guidance. After praise and glorification: I praise Allah, besides whom there is no true god, with praise befitting His majesty, who has shattered your sanctities, broken up your unity, destroyed your might and stripped you of your kingdom. So when this letter of mine reaches you, take from me a covenant of protection (dhimmah), pay the jizyah and send me hostages as surety; otherwise, by the One besides whom there is no god worthy of worship, I will bring against you a people who love death just as you crave life. And peace be upon whoever follows guidance.
The hadith of Nadlah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the conquest of Hulwan will come, if Allah wills, in the chapter on fitnahs.
