Commentary
Seemingly Hunain is substituted for Khaibar, because in the early period, there were no diacritical marks on letters. There was virtually no difference in the mode of writing the letters Nûn and Râ. Khaibar and Hunain looked alike when written. This is why the transmitters made an error. Even if we assume that it was the Day of Hunain, then it would signify the Conquest of Makkah. This is because the Day of Hunain and the Conquest of Makkah are close in time. The Campaign of Khaibar took place in the beginning of the year 7H, whereas the Conquest of Makkah took place toward the end of Ramadan in the year 8H, and the Campaign of Hunain in the beginning of Shawwal in the year 8H.
