[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the flag to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and sent him to some fortresses of Khaybar, where he fought and killed, then returned without conquering. He said, "I will give the flag tomorrow to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant victory through His hand, not through fleeing." He called Ali bin Abi Talib, who was blind in his eyes, and applied saliva to his eyes, then said, "Take this flag until Allah gives you victory." Salamah said, "He went out and by Allah, he was swiftly crossing and I was following in his footsteps until he planted the flag in a rock crevice. A Jewish man from the top of the fortress looked at him and said, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am Ali bin Abi Talib.' The Jew said, 'You have defeated them even though you did not receive what was revealed to Moses.' He did not go back until Allah granted him victory."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَى الرَّايَةَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ فَبَعَثَهُ إِلَى بَعْضِ حُصُونِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَتَلَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فَتْحٌ وَقَدْ جَهَدَ فَقَالَ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ لَيْسَ بِفَرَّارٍ» فَدَعَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذْ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ لَكَ» قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَخَرَجَ وَاللهِ يُهَرْوِلُ هَرْوَلَةً وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ أَتَّبِعُ أَثَرَهُ حَتَّى رَكَزَ الرَّايَةَ فِي رَضْمِ حِجَارَةٍ فَاطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْحِصْنِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ غَلَبْتَهُمْ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُوسَى فَمَا رَجَعَ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the flag to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and sent him to some fortresses of Khaybar. He fought and killed [the enemies], but there was no victory yet even though he exerted effort. So he said, "Tomorrow, I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant victory through him without running away." He called Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was one-eyed, and he felt in his eyes. Then he said, "Take this flag until Allah grants you victory." Salamah said, "And by Allah, he hurried while I followed in his footsteps until he planted the flag on top of a stone. A Jewish man from the top of the fortress looked at him and said, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Ali ibn Abi Talib." The Jew said, "You have defeated them, and what was revealed to Musa has not returned until Allah granted him victory."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted the banner to Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq and sent him to some fortresses of Khaybar. He fought and killed, but there was no victory yet, although he had exerted effort. He said, "I will give the banner tomorrow to someone who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant victory through his hands without fleeing." He called upon Ali ibn Abi Talib while he was having an eye ailment. He then applied saliva to his eyes and said, "Take this banner until Allah grants victory to you." Salamah said, "So, he came out while I was following behind him, walking hurriedly, until he planted the banner in a rock crevice. A Jewish man from atop the fortress asked, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I am Ali ibn Abi Talib.' The Jewish man said, 'You have defeated them, and what was revealed to Moses has not been returned until now, until Allah grants victory to him.'"
