I know that this article that i have writen is not unbiased and neutral. will some one help me to edit it to make it shorter ( comprehensive) and a bit more neutral. i will be very thank ful.
The article is in large parts copied word by word from the website mentioned at the foot of it. I'm not sure about the copyright. Other articles dealing with Khalid have probably the same problem. -- 84.63.63.158 14:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I am concerned at the reference to 'The Battle of the Chains' - modern scholars are united in their opinion that this is a mistranslation of 'silsilah' or 'chained' formation. This description is also used of Byzantine and Persian cavalry units, and is a type of close formation not used by Arab mounted. The idea that cavalry units could be chained together is ludicrous.

The idea that infantry could be chained together is equally ludicrous. As soon as a few men were wounded or dead the line could not move any more, not even to attack. This is one of those 'topoi' (see Albrecht Noth) in ancient historiography, in order to show that one's own troops were braver than the opponent, who had to be tied together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1205:5045:1BC0:B012:FC8F:EE0F:3617 ( talk) 17:53, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
Sallasil? Salasil is correct. Misnah ibn Haris? al-Muthanna ibn Haritha is correct. -- Cloj ( talk) 20:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
