Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached Khaibar in the early morning and the people of Khaibar came out with their spades, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ they said, "Muhammad and his army!" and returned hurriedly to take refuge in the fort. The Prophet ﷺ raised his hands and said, "Allah is Greater! Khaibar is ruined ! If we approach a nation, then miserable is the morning of those who are warned."

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ يَقُولُ صَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ بُكْرَةً وَقَدْ خَرَجُوا بِالْمَسَاحِي فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالُوا مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ وَأَحَالُوا إِلَى الْحِصْنِ يَسْعَوْنَ فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ  

bukhari:2991ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad > Sufyān > Ayyūb > Muḥammad > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ reached Khaibar in the morning, while the people were coming out carrying their spades over their shoulders. When they saw him they said, "This is Muhammad and his army! Muhammad and his army!" So, they took refuge in the fort. The Prophet ﷺ raised both his hands and said, "Allahu Akbar, Khaibar is ruined, for when we approach a nation (i.e. enemy to fight) then miserable is the morning of the warned ones." Then we found some donkeys which we (killed and) cooked: The announcer of the Prophet ﷺ announced: "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat donkey's meat." So, all the pots including their contents were turned upside down.

We reached Khaibar early in the morning and the inhabitants of Khaibar came out carrying their spades, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ they said, "Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." We then got the meat of donkeys (and intended to eat it), but an announcement was made by the announcer of the Prophet, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys as it is an impure thing."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ set out to Khaibar in the morning, and they met with the Masahi tribe. When they saw him, they said, "Muhammad and Al-Khamis are here, Muhammad and Al-Khamis." Then they began to advance towards the fortress. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and then said Allahu Akbar three times. He said, "Khaibar is destroyed. When we descend upon a nation's territory, it is a misfortune for the warners (i.e., the enemies). Indeed, we have caused red camels to retreat from the village and we have fattened them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger forbid you from domestic red camels, for they are impure and from the work of Satan."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , arrived in Khaibar in the morning, while they were preparing for battle. When they saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , they hurried towards the fortress, saying, "Muhammad and the army arrived." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , raised his hands and exclaimed, "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the greatest) three times. Khaibar is destroyed! When we descend upon a people's land, it is a bad morning for those who have been warned.
