[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came upon the opening of Khaybar, it was said to him, "Ja'far has arrived from the Negus (King of Abyssinia)." The Prophet, ﷺ , said, "I do not know whether I am more delighted by the arrival of Ja'far or the conquest of Khaybar." Then he kissed Ja'far between his eyes.  

الطبراني:١٤٦٩ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عَمِّي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ

لَمَّا أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ فَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ قِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ قَدِمَ جَعْفَرٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهِمَا أَنَا أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِقُدُومِ جَعْفَرٍ أَوْ فَتْحِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَبَّلَ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ»
