[Machine] He informed him that Qais ibn Saad al-Ansari, who was a companion and leader of the Messenger of Allah's battalion, wanted to perform Hajj. He cut off a part of his hair, and a servant stood up and imitated him. Qais looked and saw that a part of his hair had been cut off. So he performed Hajj without cutting the other part of his hair.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ لِوَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ فَرَجَّلَ أَحَدَ شِقَّيْ رَأْسِهِ فَقَامَ غُلَامٌ لَهُ فَقَلَّدَ هَدْيَهُ فَنَظَرَ قَيْسٌ وَقَدْ رَجَّلَ أَحَدَ شِقَّيْ رَأْسِهِ فَإِذَا هَدْيُهُ قَدْ قُلِّدَ وَأَهَلَّ بِالْحَجِّ وَلَمْ يُرَجِّلْ شِقَّ رَأْسِهِ الْآخَرَ  

Ali remained behind the Prophet ﷺ during the battle of Khaibar as he way suffering from some eye trouble but then he said, "How should I stay behind Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" So, he set out till he joined the Prophet. On the eve of the day of the conquest of Khaibar, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "(No doubt) I will give the flag or, tomorrow, a man whom Allah and His Apostle love or who loves Allah and His apostle will take the flag. Allah will bestow victory upon him." Suddenly 'Ali joined us though we were not expecting him. The people said, "Here is 'Ali. "So, Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the flag to him and Allah bestowed victory upon him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2975)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِخَيْبَرَ وَكَانَ رَمِدًا فَقَالَ أَنَا أَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَخَرَجَ فَلَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي فَتَحَ اللهُ فِي صَبَاحِهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ أَوْ لَيَأْخُذَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلٌ يُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَوْ قَالَ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِعَلِيٍّ ؓ وَمَا نَرْجُوهُ فَقَالُوا هَذَا عَلِيٌّ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّايَةَ فَفَتَحَهَا اللهُ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib say to Zubayr bin al-Awwam, "O Abu Abdullah, the Messenger of Allah has ordered you to hold the flag?" Did Abu Kurayb increase on the day of the conquest of Mecca?"  

سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ؓ يَقُولُ لِلزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ؓ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ هَا هُنَا أَمَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُرْكِزَ الرَّايَةَ؟ زَادَ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ؟  

When the Prophet ﷺ entered Mecca his banner was white. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2592)   

عَنْ جَابِرٍ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِوَاؤُهُ يَوْمَ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ أَبْيَضَ  

"The flag of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was black, and his standard was white." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1681)   

رَايَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَوْدَاءَ وَلِوَاؤُهُ أَبْيَضَ  

Yunus ibn Ubayd, client of Muhammad ibn al-Qasim, said that Muhammad ibn al-Qasim sent to al-Bara' ibn Azib to ask him about the standard of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: It was black and square, being made of a woollen rug. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2591)   

عَنْ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا كَانَتْ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَتْ سَوْدَاءَ مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ نَمِرَةٍ  

Simak reported on the authority of a man from his people, on the authority of another man from them: I saw that the standard of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was yellow. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2593)   

رَأَيْتُ رَايَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَفْرَاءَ  

[Machine] The first banner was raised in Islam by Abdullah ibn Jahsh.  

أَوَّلُ رَايَةٍ عُقِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ  

[Machine] His son, Abdullah ibn Umar, informed him, Allah willing, with knowledge that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a military expedition and commanded Abdur-Rahman bin Auf to lead it. He also appointed a flag for him and said, "Take it in the name of Allah and with His blessings." He mentioned the narration that Abdur-Rahman bin Auf had a turban made of black dyed Khurais turbans. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and unraveled his turban, then he secured it with his own hands and preferred the position of his turban to be four fingers' wide or similar to that. He said, "Do it like this, for indeed, Uthman bin 'Ata' is the most beautiful and handsome of the people."  

لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِعِلْمٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً وَأَمَّرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ؓ عَلَيْهَا وَعَقَدَ لَهُ لِوَاءً فَقَالَ خُذْهُ بِاسْمِ اللهِ وَبَرَكَتِهِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَعَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ عِمَامَةٌ مِنْ كَرَابِيسَ مَصْبُوغَةٍ بِسَوَادٍ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَلَّ عِمَامَتَهُ ثُمَّ عَمَّمَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَفْضَلَ عِمَامَتَهُ مَوْضِعَ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعٍ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هكَذَا فَاعْتَمَّ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَحْسَنُ وَأَجْمَلُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ sent Abdullah bin Awf on a mission and he held the flag in his hand.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ؓ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ وَعَقَدَ لَهُ اللِّوَاءَ بِيَدِهِ  

[Machine] And Nu'man ibn Muqarrin was one of those who carried one of the flags of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was a companion of the flag of Muzaynah, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave to them on the day of the conquest of Mecca.  

وَكَانَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ مُقْرِنٍ أَحَدَ مَنْ حَمَلَ أَحَدَ أَلْوِيَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَاحِبَ لِوَاءِ مُزَيْنَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَقَدَهَا لَهُمْ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ  

[Machine] Al-Harith bin Hassan al-Bakri said: "I approached the Prophet ﷺ while he was on the pulpit, and Bilal was standing, holding a sword. Suddenly, I saw black flags and the people saying, 'This is Amr bin al-As has arrived like this.'  

قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الْبَكْرِيُّ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَبِلَالٌ قَائِمٌ مُتَقَلِّدٌ السَّيْفَ وَإِذَا رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ وَالنَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ هَذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ قَدْ قَدِمَ هَكَذَا
