Khaled bin Sinan

Khaled bin Sinan al-'Absi (Arabic: خالد بن سنان العبسي) was a semi-legendary historical figure who lived in pre-Islamic Arabia.

Historically, he was a religious man who lived in the Arabian Peninsula, while exegetical traditions attribute him to be a prophet who preached Judaic monotheism amongst the people he was sent to.

[12] Muslim scholars have transmitted narrations and traditions regarding miracles that Khaled allegedly performed during his lifetime as a prophet.

[9][10] One of such traditions was Khaled, a preacher of Judaic monotheism, being sent to destroy a large fire which was worshipped by the Arabs who professed Zoroastrianism.

[9][13] Another tradition cites Khaled as being able to stop a large man-eating avian beast by faithful prayers to God.

[2] The character of Khaled has been observed by Christian J. Robin, who affirmed that he was likely to have been an actual person with the exception of the miraculous and fantastical stories attributed to him.
