3702. Narrated Salama: 'Ali happened to stay behind the Prophet ﷺ and (did not join him) during the battle of Khaiibar for he was having eye trouble. Then he said, "How could I remain behind Allāh's Messenger?" So, 'Ali set out following the Prophet ﷺ. When it was the eve of the day in the morning of which Allāh helped (the Muslims) to conquer it, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "I will give the flag (to a man), or tomorrow a man whom Allāh and His Messenger love will take the flag," or said, "A man who loves Allāh and His Messenger; and Allāh will grant victory under his leadership.” Suddenly ‘Ali came whom we did not expect. The people said, “This is ‘Ali.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ gave him the flag and Allāh granted victory under his leadership.

3702 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيٌّ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خَيْبَرَ، وَكَانَ بِهِ رَمَدٌ، فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي فَتَحَهَا اللَّهُ فِي صَبَاحِهَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ، أَوْ لَيَأْخُذَنَّ الرَّايَةَ، غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، أَوْ قَالَ: يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ " فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِعَلِيٍّ وَمَا نَرْجُوهُ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا عَلِيٌّ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّايَةَ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
