Khalid Bin Al-Walid had appointed his commandar Dhirar Bin Al-Azwan to attack the Byzantines as part of the war strategy against the Byzantine empire. Dhirar took his orders and engaged the enemy but was captured in the ensueing raids. When Khalid came to pursue the Byzantine army he noticed a lone warrior attacking and killing many of the enemy soldiers and withdrawing. Attacking, killing and withdrawing again.
Khalid demanded that the lone warrior make himself known. The warrior obliged and came before Khalid removing the head covering and stated clearly ”I am Khaula sister of Dhirar”...
and from that she began telling Khalid that she was of mind to attack the Byzantines and free her brother. Khalid was very impressed by this display of courage and her skill with the spear so he asked her to join the war against the Byzantines to free Dhirar, she accepted. They ambushed the Byzantine contingent which guarded Dhirar and Khaula fought visciously and killed many men ending the battle with a decisive victory for the Muslims and freedom for her beloved brother, who was also one of the most famous warriors of Islamic history, our beloved Dhirar Bin Al-Azwan The Naked Fighter! He was given this loving nickname because he would throw off his armour and shirt when combating an enemy as a sign of wishing martyrdom and dedication to death in battle.
