All these statements originated from the battle of Al-Qādisiyyah (around 636 CE), where the commander of the Muslim forces, Khalid ibn al-Walid, threatened the commander of the opposing Persian army with a letter containing the phrase: “you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that love death, as you love life.” See MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute), Inquiry and Analysis series, no. 163 (19 February 2004); also available online at  http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA16304#_ednref9.
