[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said when he arrived at Khaybar: "Tomorrow, I will give the flag to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and he loves Allah and His Messenger." When the next day came, a group of his companions competed for it. He called upon Ali, who had an eye infection, and put saliva in his eyes, then gave him the flag while the people stood up with him. They encountered the people of Khaybar, and whenever he entered a battle, he would recite, "By the sea complied with its limit; indeed, Khaybar knew that I am Harb, the brave champion, when swords are ready to burn, sometimes I stab, and sometimes I strike." He fought with Ali, and they both struck each other twice. Ali struck him on the head until the sword bit into it with its teeth, and the people of the army heard the sound of his strike, so they killed him. He was not the last of the people who were defeated, as the first of them doors were opened, and he said, "This is a major gate that I have brought out among the gates."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا نَزَلَ بِحَضْرَةِ خَيْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ اللِّوَاءَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ تَطَاوَلَ لَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ «فَدَعَا عَلِيًّا وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ اللِّوَاءَ وَنَهَضَ مَعَهُ النَّاسُ» فَلَقُوا أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَرْحَبٌ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ يَرْتَجِزُ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَقُولُ [البحر الرجز] قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي مَرْحَبٌ شَاكِي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُ إِذَا السُّيُوفُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُ أَطْعَنُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا أَضْرِبُ فَاخْتَلَفَ هُوَ وَعَلِيٌّ بِضَرْبَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى عَضَّ السَّيْفُ بِأَضْرَاسِهِ وَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الْعَسْكَرِ صَوْتَ ضَرَبْتِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَمَا أَتَى آخِرُ النَّاسِ حَتَّى فُتِحَ لِأَوَّلِهِمْ «هَذَا بَابٌ كَبِيرٌ قَدْ خَرَّجْتُهُ فِي الْأَبْوَابِ»  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in the presence of the people of Khaybar, he appointed 'Umar as the leader and he stood up along with those who stood up from among the people. They met the people of Khaybar, and 'Umar and his companions were revealed. They returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will give the leadership to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love and who loves Allah and His Messenger." The next day, Abu Bakr and 'Umar took the lead. 'Ali was called, and he was weak, so he spat in his eyes and he stood up with him from among the people. They met the people of Khaybar, and there was a welcoming call that he made while saying, "[The sea] has known that Khaybar, I am a welcoming guest, a brave knight experienced with weapons. Sometimes I stab and sometimes I strike. When the lions advance, they start to blaze. He and 'Ali had a difference of opinion. 'Ali struck him twice, and then 'Ali struck him on his forehead until his sword became white. The people of the military heard the sound of his strike, so they were not left behind with 'Ali. So Allah opened for him and for them.  

لَمَّا كَانَ حَيْثُ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِحَضْرَةِ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ اللِّوَاءَ عُمَرَ فَنَهَضَ مَعَهُ مَنْ نَهَضَ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَلَقُوا أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَانْكَشَفَ عُمَرُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ اللِّوَاءَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ تَصَادَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَدَعَا عَلِيًّا وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَهَضَ مَعَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ نَهَضَ فَلَقِيَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَرْحَبٌ يَرْتَجِزُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ [البحر الرجز] قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي مَرْحَبُ شَاكي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُ أَطْعَنُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا أَضْرِبُ إِذَا اللُّيُوثُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُ فَاخْتَلَفَ هُوَ وَعَلِيٌّ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ حَتَّى عَضَّ السَّيْفَ مِنْهَا أَبْيَضَ رَأْسِهِ وَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الْعَسْكَرِ صَوْتَ ضَرَبْتِهِ فَمَا تَتَامَّ آخِرُ النَّاسِ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ لَهُ وَلَهُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." So he called Ali, who was blind in one eye, and he wiped over his eyes and gave him the flag. Then he stood up with him and whoever stood up, he met the people of Khaybar. And there was a call welcoming him, saying, "Khaybar knows that I am a welcoming warrior, a tested hero. I stab sometimes and strike at others, and when the lions advance, they ignite. So he and Ali differed with one another, and Ali struck him twice, and he struck him on his helmet until the sword bit through it, whitening his head. And the people of the army heard the sound of his strike. So Allah opened a way for him and for them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأُعْطِيَنَّ اللِّوَاءَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَدَعَا عَلِيًّا وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ اللِّوَاءَ وَنَهَضَ مَعَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ نَهَضَ فَلَقِيَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَإِذَا مَرْحَبٌ يَرْتَجِزُ وَيَقُولُ [البحر الرجز] قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّي مَرْحَبُ شَاكِي السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُجَرَّبُ أَطْعَنُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا أَضْرِبُ إِذَا اللُّيُوثُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُ فَاخْتَلَفَ هُوَ وَعَلِيٌّ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ حَتَّى عَضَّ السَّيْفُ مِنْهَا أَبْيَضَ رَأْسِهِ وَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الْعَسْكَرِ صَوْتَ ضَرْبَتِهِ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ لَهُ وَلَهُمْ  

"عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بحَضْرَةِ خَيْبَرَ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ خَيْبَرَ، فَقَالُوا: جَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ فِى أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَقِىَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَرَدُّوهُ، وَكَشَفُوهُ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابهُ، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُخْبرُ أَصْحَابَهُ، وَيُجِيبُهُ أَصْحَاُبهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : لأُعْطِيَنَّ اللِّوَاءَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحبُّ الله وَرَسُولَهُ، وَيُحِبُّهُ الله وَرَسُولُهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ تَصَادَرَ لَهَا أبو بكر، وَعُمَرُ، فَدَعَا عَلِيّا وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أرْمَدُ، فَتَفَلَ فِى عَيْنِهِ، وأعْطَاهُ اللِّوَاءَ، فَانْطَلَقَ بالنَّاسِ فَلَقِىَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ وَلَقِىَ مَرْحَبًا الْخَيْبرِىَّ فَإذَا هُوَ يَرْ تَجِزُ وَيَقُولُ:

قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّى مَرْحَبُ ... شَاكِى السِّلاح بطلٌ مُجَرِبُ

إذا الليُوثُ أقْبلَتْ تلهبُ ... أَطْعَنُ أحْيانا وحينًا أَضْرِبُ

فَالْتَقَى هُوَ وَعَلَىٌّ، فَضَرَبَهُ عَلىٌّ ضَرْبَةً عَلَى هَامَتِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ، عَض السَّيْفُ مِنْها بِالأَضْرَاسِ.

وَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ ضَرْبَتِهِ أَهْلُ الْعَسْكَرِ، فَما تَتَامَّ آخِرُ النَّاسِ حَتَّى فَتَحَ لأَوْلَهُمْ".
