her father was khawalid

His name was Khuwaylid ibn Asad ibn Abduluzza ibn Qusayy (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, Guillaume's translation, Oxford University Press, p. 82).

This Qusayy was the one who had taken over Mecca and ruled it like a tyrant 120 years before Khadija was born (Ibn Ishaq, pp. 52-53, 56). All of his descendants were considered the "inner circle" of the Quraysh (Lings, Muhammad, Inner Traditions, p. 6).

Khuwaylid must have been an important citizen because he was a commander in the Sacrilegious War (Al-Waqidi, Kitab al-Maghazi, cited in Muir (1861), Mahomet, Smith, & Co, vol. 2 pp. 7 f9, 22, 24 f28).
