  • Notes 
    • remained Governor of Emesa during the time of third Caliph Uthman ibn Affan and participated in the Battle of Siffin as one of the generals of Muawiyah I , he was also the part of Umayyad army that besieged Constantinople. Abdulreman was later to be appointed the successor of Muawiyah but according to some narration (Most likely from Shia Sources) he was poisoned by Muawiyah because Muawiyah wanted to make his son Yazid I his successor. The male line of descent from Khalid is believed to have ended with his grandson, Khalid bin Abdur-Rahman bin Khalid

      against Ali as a general under Muawiya at the Battle of Siffin , while his brother Muhajir ibn Khalid fought against Muawiya from Ali's side in the same battle and was killed
      is said that Abdulrehamn was the only son of Khalid ibn Walid who had military prowess some what like his late father, he was respected and was famous because of his military services and his late father Khalid ibn Walid the conqueror of Roman Syria and Iraq .
      According to this source, Muawiya poisoned 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Khalid to secure the transition of power to his son. However, some scholars deny the authenticity of this story. Shaikh Amr Salim , says that this story has no authentic Isnad . His son Khalid ibn Abdulrehman is said to have avenged his father's murder, he too died and the male line of descendants of Khalid ibn Walid ended on him.
