[Machine] I heard my father Buraydah saying, "We were besieged in Khaybar, and Abu Bakr took command, but it was not opened for him. Then, Umar took command on the following day, but it was not opened for him either. On that day, the people faced great difficulty and exerted great effort. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Tomorrow, I will hand over my flag to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and he loves them, and it will not be returned until it is opened for him.' We spent the night in a state of anticipation that the victory would come the next day. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the morning prayer and stood up, he called for the flag and the people lined up behind him. There was not a single one of us who did not hope to be the one to carry the flag in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So, he called for Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was suffering from an inflamed eye. The Prophet ﷺ applied his saliva to Ali's eye, wiped it off, and handed him the flag. Allah opened Khaybar for him and he said, 'And I will be the one who will enter it.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ يَقُولُ حَاصَرْنَا خَيْبَرَ فَأَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ وَأَخَذَ مِنَ الْغَدِ عُمَرُ فَانْصَرَفَ وَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ وَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ شِدَّةٌ وَجَهْدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي دَافِعٌ لِوَائِي غَدًا إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ لَا يَرْجِعُ حَتَّى يُفْتَحُ لَهُ» وَبِتْنَا طَيِّبَةً أَنْفُسُنَا أَنَّ الْفَتْحَ غَدًا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ قَامَ قَائِمًا وَدَعَا بِاللِّوَاءِ وَالنَّاسُ عَلَى مَصَافِّهِمْ فَمَا مِنَّا إِنْسَانٌ لَهُ مَنْزِلَةٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا هُوَ يَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ صَاحِبَ اللِّوَاءِ فَدَعَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ عَنْهُ وَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ اللِّوَاءَ وَفَتَحَ اللهُ لَهُ قَالَ «وَأَنَا فِيمَنْ تَطَاوَلَ لَهَا»  

[Machine] I heard my father Buraida saying, "We were besieged in Khaybar, and Abu Bakr took the standard and went, but it was not opened for him. Then 'Umar took it and also went, but it was not opened for him. And the people faced severe hardship and exertion on that day. So the Messenger of Allah said, 'Tomorrow, I will give my standard to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and he loves Allah and His Messenger. He will not return until it is opened for him.' And we spent the night having good thoughts that victory will come tomorrow. So when the morning came, the Messenger of Allah prayed the morning prayer, then he stood up and called for the standard and the people were standing in their ranks. There was no one among us with a position before the Messenger of Allah, except that he hoped to be the companion of the standard. So he called for 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, who had a limp, and he spat in his eyes and wiped it off, and then he handed him the standard. So Allah opened it for him, and he said, 'I am one of those who will breach it.'"

"عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَعَ وَلَم يُفْتَحْ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ أَخَذَ عُمَرُ وَلَم يُفْتَحْ لَهُ، وَقُتِلَ ابْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، وَرَجَعَ النَّاسُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : لأَدْفَعَنَّ لِوَائِى هذَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ الله وَرَسُولَهُ، وَيُحِبُّهُ الله وَرَسُولُهُ، لَنْ يَرْجِعَ حَتَّى يُفْتَحَ عَلَيْهِ، فَبِتْنَا طَيِّبَةً أَنْفُسُنَا أَنَّ الْفَتْحَ غَدًا، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالَّلوَاءِ وَقَامَ قَائمًا، فَمَا مِنَّا مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ مَنْزِلَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ، حَتَّى تَطَاوَلْتُ أَنَا لَهَا، وَدَفَعْتُ رَأسِى لمَنْزِلَة كَانَتْ لِى مِنْهُ، فَدَعَا عَلَىَّ ابْنَ أَبِى طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ يَشْتَكِى عَيْنَيْهِ، فَمَسَحَهَا، ثُمَّ دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ اللِّوِاءَ فَفُتِحَ لَهُ".
