[Machine] "We witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Battle of Khaybar, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat in the eyes of Ali, and he was then healed and given the flag. Marhab greeted and said, 'The sea of Rajz has known that I am Marhab, the complaining hero with tested weapons. When wars begin, they blaze.' Ali then confronted him and said, 'I am the one whom my mother named Haider, like a ferocious lion, with fearful appearance. I will fulfill for you the measure of sand like the weight of thunder.' Marhab struck at him, but Ali split his head and killed him, and the victory was."

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned the Hadith in detail. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and called him while he was blind in one eye. He said, "Today I will give the banner to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and he loves them." He said, "I brought him and I led him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat in his eyes, and he recovered. Then he gave him the banner. He said, "So Marhab emerged and he said, 'I am the renowned Marhab, the brave warrior when battles approach and flames ignite.' He said, 'So Ali emerged and he said, 'I am the one whom my mother named Haydar, resembling the fierce lions in sight. I repay them measure for measure like the pound of a hammer.' Marhab struck him with his sword, and it split his head, killing him. And Fath (victory) was achieved."
