[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."
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
