Introduction
Another companion was Hazrat Khalid bin Bukair (ra), who was a Badri companion [those who took part in the Battle of Badr]. Hazrat Khalid bin Bukair, Aaqil, Hazrat Amir and Hazrat Ayaas all accepted Islam in Dar-e-Arqam. All four brothers were the first to accept Islam in Dar-e-Arqam. The Holy Prophet (sa) established a bond of brotherhood between Hazrat Khalid (ra) bin Bukair and Hazrat Zaid (ra) bin Dathinah. He took part in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud. Hazrat Khalid (ra) bin Bukair was among those who were martyred in the incident that took place in Rajee‘ which has been mentioned earlier in which ten Muslims were deceived and killed.
