The historian Waqidi writes that after the battle of Battle of Maraj-al-Debaj, Emperor Heraclius sent an ambassador to ask Khalid to return his daughter. The ambassador gave Khalid the letter from the Emperor which read as follows:[128]
“ 'I have come to know what you have done to my army. You have killed my son-in-law and captured my daughter. You have won and got away safely. I now ask you for my daughter. Either return her to me on payment of ransom or give her to me as a gift, for honour is a strong element in your character. ”
Khalid said to the ambassador:
“ Take her as a gift, there shall be no ransom. ”

Not him, but even an Arab woman managed to beat the shit out of the Roman army. Queen Mavia of the Banu Tanukh got pissed when Gothic tribesmen got better terms than her Arabs did, so she kicked their ass in a massive revolt. As far as I know she went undefeated.
Khalid carried the hair of Muhammad in his helmet and was named the sword of Allah by him
