548. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed Fajr on the day of Khaibar
during the time that it was still dark, when he was near the enemy. Then he attacked them and said: 'Allâhu Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed!' Twice. 'Then, when it descends in their courtyard, evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!'"[1] (Sahih)

Commentary
Allâh's Messenger ﷺ attacked after dawn, because he had been waiting for the Adhan of the dawn prayer. Had he heard the Adhan from the people he was about to attack, he would not have carried out the attack, so that Muslims there might not be killed. And if he would not hear the Adhan from them, he would carry out the attack, because, in that case, he would clearly be attacking disbelievers.
