2943. Narrated Anas رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Whenever Allāh's Messenger ﷺ attacked some people, he would never attack them till it was dawn. If he heard the Adhān [i.e., call for Salāt (prayer)](1) he would delay the fight, and if he did not hear the Adhān, he would attack them immediately after dawn. We reached Khaibar at night.

Arabic text

2943 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا غَزَا قَوْمًا لَمْ يُغِرْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا أَمْسَكَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا أَغَارَ بَعْدَ مَا يُصْبِحُ، فَنَزَلْنَا خَيْبَرَ لَيْلًا»،

(1) (H. 2943) The Prophet ﷺ would wait till dawn to see whether the people he was attacking had been converted to Islām or not, and the sign of their embracing Islām will be the pronunciation of the Adhān. He would not attack them if he heard the Adhān.
