رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ٦١٠. Narrated Anas bin Mālik : “Whenever the Prophet ﷺ went out with us to fight (in Allāh’s Cause) against any nation, he never allowed us to attack till morning and he would wait and see. If he heard Adhān he would postpone the attack, and if he did not hear Adhān he would attack them.” Anas added, “We reached Khaibar at night and in the morning when he did not hear the Adhān for the prayer, he (the Prophet ﷺ) rode and I rode behind Abī Ṭalḥa and my foot was touching that of the Prophet ﷺ. “The inhabitants of Khaibar came out with their baskets and spades and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ they shouted ‘Muḥammad! By Allāh, Muḥammad and his army.’ When Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ saw them, he said, ‘Allāhu Akbar! Allāhu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.’”
