Question: Who was slaughtered by a companion of Muhammad in 632?

<P0-S0> The succession to Muhammad raises questions about the leadership of Islam after his death: Muhammad's successor, how they should be elected, conditions of legitimacy and the role of successor. <P0-S1>  Answers to these questions have led to several divisions in the Muslim community since the first century of Muslim history, giving rise to the Sunni, Shia and Khawarij schools. <P0-S2>  After Muhammad's death in AD 632, disagreement broke out over who should succeed him as leader of the Muslim community. <P0-S3>  Since none of his sons survived into adulthood, hereditary succession was not an option. <P0-S4>  Umar (Umar ibn al-Khattab), a prominent companion of Muhammad, nominated Abu Bakr. <P0-S5>  Others added their support, and Abu Bakr was made the first caliph. <P0-S6>  This choice was disputed by some of Muhammad's companions, who believed that Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib), the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, had already been designated as his successor by the Prophet. <P0-S7>  During the First and Second Fitnas the Islamic community divided into a number of groups, each of which had a specific idea about successorship. <P0-S8>  After the Rashidun caliphate evolved into monarchies and sultanates, Sunnis held power in most areas; Shias emerged in opposition. <SEP> <P1-S0> Abū Sulaymān Khālid ibn al-Walīd ibn al-Mughīrah al-Makhzūmī (Arabic: أبو سليمان خالد بن الوليد بن المغيرة المخزومي‎ ‎ ‎; 585–642), also known as Sayf ullah al-Maslūl (Arabic: سيف الله المسلول‎ ‎ ; "Drawn Sword of God"), was a companion of Muhammad. <P1-S1>  He is noted for his military tactics and prowess, commanding the forces of Medina under Muhammad and the forces of his immediate successors of the Rashidun Caliphate, Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Khattab. <P1-S2>  It was under his military leadership that Arabia, for the first time in history, was united under a single political entity, the Caliphate. <P1-S3>  Commanding the forces of the nascent Islamic state, Khalid was victorious in over a hundred battles, against the forces of the Byzantine-Roman Empire, Sassanid-Persian Empire, and their allies, in addition to other Arab tribes. <P1-S4>  His strategic achievements include the conquest of Arabia during the Ridda Wars, Persian Mesopotamia and Roman Syria within several years from 632 to 636. <P1-S5>  He is also remembered for his decisive victories at Yamamah, Ullais, and Firaz, and his tactical successes at Walaja and Yarmouk. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Battle of Zafar took place in 632 between Khalid ibn al-Walid and a tribal chieftess called Salma. <P2-S1>  Khalid defeated her and she died on the battlefield. <P2-S2>  The battle was part of the Ridda Wars. <P2-S3>  This apostate leader was riding on a camel, surrounded by her loyal bodyguards. <P2-S4>  Khalid ibn al-Walid approached her with a group of mujaheddin and slaughtered her and her bodyguards. <P2-S5>  Several hundred apostates died in this battle. <SEP> <P3-S0> Fatimah bint Muhammad ( ; Arabic: فاطمة‎ ‎ "Fāṭimah "; born c. 605 or 615 (or 20 Jumada al-Thani 5 BH [(604--)27 604 AD] ?) <P3-S1>  – died 28 August 632 ) was the youngest daughter and according to Shia Muslims, the only child of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and Khadijah who lived to adulthood, and therefore part of Muhammad's household. <P3-S2>  She was a wife of Ali and mother of Hasan and Husayn. <P3-S3>  She is the object of love and respect of all Muslims, as she was the child closest to her father and supported him in his difficulties, was the supporter and loving caretaker of her own husband and children, and was the only child of Muhammad to have male children live beyond childhood, whose descendants are spread throughout the Islamic world and are known as Sayyids. <P3-S4>  The 11th century dynasty ruling Egypt at the time of the Crusades, the Fatimids, claimed descent from her.
