Sahih al-Bukhari 3702

Translation

ʿAli happened to stay behind the Prophet ﷺ and (did not join him) during the battle of Khaibar for he was having eye trouble. Then he said, "How could I remain behind Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" So ʿAli set out following the Prophet ﷺ, When it was the eve of the day in the morning of which Allah helped (the Muslims) to conquer it, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will give the flag (to a man), or tomorrow a man whom Allah and His Apostle love will take the flag," or said, "A man who loves Allah and His Apostle; and Allah will grant victory under his leadership." Suddenly came ʿAli whom we did not expect. The people said, "This is ʿAli." Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him the flag and Allah granted victory under his leadership.
