[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Khaybar: "I will give the flag (of leadership) to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant him victory." Umar then said, "I have never desired leadership before that day, but I eagerly sought it with the hope that it would be given to me. When the next day came, he called Ali and handed him the flag, saying, 'Fight and do not turn back until Allah grants you victory.' Ali went forward and soon called out, 'O Messenger of Allah, why am I fighting?' The Prophet replied, 'Fight until they bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Once they do that, they will be protected from me in regard to their lives and wealth, except for their due rights, and their reckoning will be with Allah.'

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ لَأَدْفَعَنَّ الرَّايَةَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَمَا أَحْبَبْتُ الْإِمَارَةَ قَبْلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَتَطَاوَلْتُ لَهَا وَاسْتَشْرَفْتُ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَدْفَعَهَا إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ دَعَا عَلِيًّا فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ قَاتِلْ وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى يُفْتَحَ عَلَيْكَ فَسَارَ قَرِيبًا ثُمَّ نَادَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَامَ أُقَاتِلُ؟ قَالَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ مَنَعُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ ﷻ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Khaybar, "Today, I will give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant victory to him." Umar said, "I never desired leadership except on that day, so I felt a sense of superiority." The Prophet ﷺ told Ali, "Arise," and gave him the banner, then said to him, "Go and do not look back until Allah grants you victory." Ali walked for a while and then stood without looking back at the army. He asked himself, "Why am I fighting these people?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Fight them until they bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. Once they do, their lives and wealth will be protected, except by the right due to them, and their reckoning will be with Allah."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ «لَأَدْفَعَنَّ الْيَوْمَ اللِّوَاءَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ فَمَا أَحْبَبْتُ الْإِمَارَةَ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ فَتَطَاوَلْتُ لَهَا فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «قُمْ» فَدَفَعَ اللِّوَاءَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ «اذْهَبْ وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ» فَمَشَى هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ لِلْعَزْمَةِ فَقَالَ عَلَى مَا أُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قَاتِلْهُمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا فَقَدْ عَصَمُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ»

I shall certainly give this standard in the hand of one who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah will grant victory at his hand. Umar b. Khattab said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but Messenger of Allah ﷺ called 'Ali b. Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and 'Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Messenger of Allah, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah. (Using translation from Muslim 2405)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will give the banner tomorrow to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and through whom Allah will grant victory." Umar said, "I have never desired leadership except on this day." Then, the Prophet called Ali and sent him, saying, "Go and fight until Allah grants you victory, and do not turn back." Ali said, "So he went as Allah willed, and he stopped and did not turn back." Then he said, "Why should I fight the people?" Ali said, "Fight them until they bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Once they do that, they will have withheld their lives and wealth except for what is rightfully theirs, and their account will be with Allah."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ فَمَا أَحْبَبْتُ الْإِمَارَةَ قَطُّ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ فَاشْرَأَبَّ لَهَا فَدَعَا عَلِيًّا فَبَعَثَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَقَاتِلْ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ» قَالَ «فَمَشَى مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ» فَقَالَ «عَلَامَ أُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ؟» قَالَ «قَاتِلْهُمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ مَنَعُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the Battle of Khaybar, "I will give the flag to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and Allah will grant him victory." 'Umar said, "I have never desired leadership before this day." Then he handed it to 'Ali and said, "Fight and do not turn back." 'Umar went a short distance and said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should I fight the people?" He said, "So that they bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If they do so, then their blood and wealth are protected from me except by right, and their reckoning is with Allah."

"عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَالَ: (لأَدْفَعَنَّ) (اللِّواءَ) إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللَّه وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللَّه بِهِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا تَمنَّيْنَا الإِمْرَةَ (إلَّا) يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الَغَدُ تَطَاوَلْتُ لَهَا، فَقَالَ (يَا) عَلِىُّ: قُمْ؛ اذْهَبْ فَقَاتِلْ وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى يِفَتْحَ اللَّه عَلَيْكَ، فَلَمَّا قَفَى كَرِهَ أَنْ يَلْتَفِتَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه عَلامَ أقَاتِلُهُمْ؟ (قَالَ) حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّه، فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حَرُمَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأمْوالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا".
