‘Abd ar-Rahman ibn Khalid fought against Ali as a general under Muawiya at the Battle of Siffin

[edit] His Death

It is written in al Istiab:

“ Muawiya said to the people of Syria: "I want to appoint a successor over you and need your advice." The people liked Abd-al-Rahman ibn Khalid, but Muawiya could not tolerate this, since his intention was to appoint Yazid [his own son] as his successor. After this Abd-al-Rahman ibn Khalid became ill and he [Muˤāwiyya] asked his Jewish physician Ibn Athaal to give him poison to drink. The physician then administered this poison to Abdul Rahman". [1] ”

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. [2].
