وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ زُرْعَةَ أَبُو رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ؓ، قَالَ:
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ بِرَايَتِهِ إِلَى بَعْضِ حُصُونِ خَيْبَرَ، فَقَاتَلَ وَرَجَعَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فَتَحَ، وَقَدْ جَهَدَ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَاتَلَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فَتَحَ، وَقَدْ جَهَدَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا ﷺ بِعَلِيٍّ فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: خُذْ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ، فَامْضِ بِهَا حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ سَلَمَةُ: فَخَرَجَ بِهَا وَاللهِ يُهَرْوِلُ هَرْوَلَةً، وَنَحْنُ خَلْفَهُ نَتْبَعُ أَثَرَهُ، حَتَّى رَكَزَ رَايَتَهُ فِي رَضْمٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ تَحْتَ الْحِصْنِ، فَاطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِ يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْحِصْنِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قَالَ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: غُلِبْتُمْ، وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُوسَى - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ - فَمَا رَجَعَ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Abu Bakr al-Siddiq with his banner to one of the fortresses of Khaybar. He fought and returned without conquering it, and he had exerted himself. Then he sent Umar b. al-Khattab the next day, and he fought and returned without conquering it, and he had exerted himself. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'I will give the banner to a man who loves God and His Messenger, and God will grant victory at his hands.' Then he ﷺ called for Ali and spat into his eyes, then said: 'Take this banner and go with it until God grants you victory.' Salamah said: He went out with it, by God, trotting briskly, while we followed his tracks behind him, until he planted his banner in a pile of stones beneath the fortress. A Jew looked down at him from the top of the fortress and said: 'Who are you?' He said: 'Ali b. Abi Talib.' The Jew said to his companions: 'You are defeated, by what was revealed to Moses'—or as he said. He did not return until God granted victory at his hands.
