The Messenger's prohibition on the day of Khaybar of certain things
[ شَأْنُ عَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ بِرَايَتِهِ، وَكَانَتْ بَيْضَاءَ، فِيمَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ، إلَى بَعْضِ حُصُونِ خَيْبَرَ، فَقَاتَلَ، فَرَجَعَ وَلَمْ يَكُ فَتْحٌ، وَقَدْ جَهَدَ؛ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ الْغَدَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَاتَلَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَلَمْ يَكُ فَتَحَ، وَقَدْ جَهَدَ؛ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، لَيْسَ بِفَرَّارٍ قَالَ: يَقُولُ سَلَمَةُ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا - رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ - وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ، فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: خُذْ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ، فَامْضِ بِهَا حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ: يَقُولُ سَلَمَةُ: فَخَرَجَ وَاَللَّهِ بِهَا يَأْنِحُ، يُهَرْوِلُ هَرْوَلَةً، وَإِنَّا لَخَلْفَهُ نَتَّبِعُ أَثَرَهُ، حَتَّى رَكَزَ رَايَتَهُ فِي رَضْمٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ تَحْتَ الْحِصْنِ، فَاطَّلَعَ إلَيْهِ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْحِصْنِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ الْيَهُودِيُّ: عَلَوْتُمْ، وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُوسَى، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ. قَالَ: فَمَا رَجَعَ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِرَايَتِهِ؛ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْ الْحِصْنِ خَرَجَ إلَيْهِ أَهْلُهُ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ، فَضَرَبَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَهُودَ، فَطَاحَ تُرْسُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتَنَاوَلَ عَلِيٌّ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - بَابًا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْحِصْنِ فَتَرَّسَ بِهِ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي يَدِهِ وَهُوَ يُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حِينَ فَرَغَ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتنِي فِي نَفَرٍ سَبْعَةٍ مَعِي، أَنَا ثَامِنُهُمْ، نَجْهَدُ عَلَى أَنْ نَقْلِبَ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ، فَمَا نُقَلِّبُهُ

✧ [THE AFFAIR OF ‘ALI ON THE DAY OF KHAYBAR] Ibn Isḥāq said: Buraydah b. Sufyān b. Farwah al-Aslamī related to me, from his father Sufyān, from Salamah b. ‘Amr b. al-Akwa‘, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq ؓ with his banner—and it was white, according to what Ibn Hishām said—to one of the forts of Khaybar. He fought, then returned without any conquest and exhausted. The next day he sent ‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb; he fought, then returned without any conquest and exhausted. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Tomorrow I shall give the banner to a man who loves God and His Messenger, and God will grant victory at his hands; he is not one who flees.” Salamah said: The Messenger of God ﷺ summoned ‘Alī (may God be pleased with him) while he had sore eyes. He spat into his eye, then said: “Take this banner and go with it until God grants you victory.” Salamah said: By God, he went out with it panting, trotting briskly, while we were behind him following his track, until he planted his banner in a pile of stones beneath the fort. A Jew looked down at him from the top of the fort and said: “Who are you?” He said: “I am ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib.” The Jew said: “You have prevailed (or you have risen), and by what was sent down upon Moses”—or something like that. He did not return until God granted victory at his hands. Ibn Isḥāq said: ‘Abd Allāh b. al-Ḥasan related to me, from one of his family, from Abū Rāfi‘, the freedman of the Messenger of God ﷺ, who said: We went out with ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib ؓ when the Messenger of God ﷺ sent him with his banner. When he approached the fort, its people came out to him and he fought them. A man from the Jews struck him and his shield flew from his hand. ‘Alī ﷺ took hold of a door that was by the fort and used it as a shield to protect himself. It remained in his hand while he fought until God granted him victory. Then he threw it from his hand when he was done. I saw myself among seven men with me—I was the eighth of them—we strove to turn over that door, but we could not turn it over.
