[6224] 35 - (2407) It was narrated that Salamah bin Al-Akwa' said: "Alī stayed behind and did not go with the Prophet ﷺ during the campaign of Khaibar, and he had an inflammation in his eyes. He said: 'How could I stay behind and not go with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?' So 'Alī set out and caught up with the Prophet ﷺ. On the evening before Allāh granted victory, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Tomorrow I shall give the flag' – or 'the flag will be carried by' – 'a man whom Allāh and His Messenger love' – or he said: 'who loves Allāh and His Messenger' – and Allāh will grant him victory.' Then we saw 'Alī, and we were not expecting to see him. They said: 'Here is 'Alī.' And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave the flag to him, and Allâh granted victory to him.”

35 - (2407) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيٌّ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي خَيْبَرَ وَكَانَ رَمِدًا، فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي فَتَحَهَا اللهُ فِي صَبَاحِهَا. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ، أَوْ لَيَأْخُذَنَّ بِالرَّايَةِ غَدًا رَجُلٌ يُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، أَوْ قَالَ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِعَلِيٍّ، وَمَا نَرْجُوهُ. فَقَالُوا: هَذَا عَلِيٌّ، فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّايَةَ. فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ
