حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ: لَأَدْفَعَنَّ الرَّايَةَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَمَا أَحْبَبْتُ الْإِمَارَةَ قَبْلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَتَطَاوَلْتُ لَهَا وَاسْتَشْرَفْتُ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَدْفَعَهَا إِلَيَّ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ دَعَا عَلِيًّا [عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ] فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: " قَاتِلْ وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى يُفْتَحَ عَلَيْكَ، فَسَارَ قَرِيبًا ثُمَّ نَادَى: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلَامَ أُقَاتِلُ ؟ قَالَ: " حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ مَنَعُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا، وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Khaybar: 'I will surely give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant victory through him.' Umar said: 'I never desired leadership before that day, but I stretched myself out and hoped that it would be given to me.' The next day, he called Ali ﷺ and gave it to him, saying: 'Fight and do not turn back until victory is granted to you.' He advanced a short distance and then called out: 'O Messenger of Allah, on what basis shall I fight?' He said: 'Fight until they bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If they do that, they have protected their blood and wealth from me, except for what is due, and their reckoning is with Allah, Mighty and Majestic.'
