[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ attacked Khaybar in the morning, while they had already gone out for their work in the fields. When they saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they said, 'Muhammad and the group have come.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said, 'Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)! Khaybar is destroyed. Whenever we descend upon a nation's territory, then the morning of those who are warned will be severe.'"

Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached Khaibar in the early morning and the people of Khaibar came out with their spades, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ they said, "Muhammad and his army!" and returned hurriedly to take refuge in the fort. The Prophet ﷺ raised his hands and said, "Allah is Greater! Khaibar is ruined ! If we approach a nation, then miserable is the morning of those who are warned."

The Prophet ﷺ set out for Khaibar and reached it at night. He used not to attack if he reached the people at night, till the day broke. So, when the day dawned, the Jews came out with their bags and spades. When they saw the Prophet; they said, "Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet ﷺ said, Allahu--Akbar! (Allah is Greater) and Khaibar is ruined, for whenever we approach a nation (i.e. enemy to fight) then it will be a miserable morning for those who have been warned."

bukhari:2991ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad > Sufyān > Ayyūb > Muḥammad > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ reached Khaibar in the morning, while the people were coming out carrying their spades over their shoulders. When they saw him they said, "This is Muhammad and his army! Muhammad and his army!" So, they took refuge in the fort. The Prophet ﷺ raised both his hands and said, "Allahu Akbar, Khaibar is ruined, for when we approach a nation (i.e. enemy to fight) then miserable is the morning of the warned ones." Then we found some donkeys which we (killed and) cooked: The announcer of the Prophet ﷺ announced: "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat donkey's meat." So, all the pots including their contents were turned upside down.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached Khaibar at night and it was his habit that, whenever he reached the enemy at night, he will not attack them till it was morning. When it was morning, the Jews came out with their spades and baskets, and when they saw him(i.e. the Prophet ﷺ ), they said, "Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned."

We reached Khaibar early in the morning and the inhabitants of Khaibar came out carrying their spades, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ they said, "Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." We then got the meat of donkeys (and intended to eat it), but an announcement was made by the announcer of the Prophet, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys as it is an impure thing."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd at-Tawil from Anas ibn Malik that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to Khaybar, he arrived there at night, and when he came upon a people by night, he did not attack until morning. In the morning, the jews came out with their spades and baskets. When they saw him, they said, "Muhammad! By Allah, Muhammad and his army!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "Allah is greater! Khaybar is destroyed. When we come to a people, it is an evil morning for those who have been warned . "

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ set out to Khaibar in the morning, and they met with the Masahi tribe. When they saw him, they said, "Muhammad and Al-Khamis are here, Muhammad and Al-Khamis." Then they began to advance towards the fortress. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and then said Allahu Akbar three times. He said, "Khaibar is destroyed. When we descend upon a nation's territory, it is a misfortune for the warners (i.e., the enemies). Indeed, we have caused red camels to retreat from the village and we have fattened them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger forbid you from domestic red camels, for they are impure and from the work of Satan."
