[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that Hatim ibn Ismail narrated from Yazid ibn Abi Ubaid from Salamah ibn Al-Akwa' that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the eve of the Battle of Khaybar: "Tomorrow, I will give the flag to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and Allah will grant victory to him." Then, Ali ibn Abi Talib appeared, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him the flag. So, Allah granted him victory.  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْلَةَ صَبِيحَةِ خَيْبَرَ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا لِرَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَإِذَا بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّايَةَ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ
