Suhail reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said on the Day of Khaibar: I shall certainly give this standard in the hand of one who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah will grant victory at his hand. Umar b. Khattab said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) called 'Ali b. Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and 'Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: مَا أَحْبَبْتُ الْإِمَارَةَ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ، قَالَ فَتَسَاوَرْتُ لَهَا رَجَاءَ أَنْ أُدْعَى لَهَا، قَالَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا، وَقَالَ: «امْشِ، وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ، حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ» قَالَ فَسَارَ عَلِيٌّ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ وَقَفَ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ، فَصَرَخَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَى مَاذَا أُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: «قَاتِلْهُمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ مَنَعُوا مِنْكَ دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ، إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ»
  سہیل کے والد ( ابو صالح ) نے ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی کہ ر سول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے غزوہ خیبر کےدن فرمایا : " کل میں اس شخص کو جھنڈا دوں گا جو اللہ اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے محبت کرتا ہے ، اللہ اس کے ہاتھ پر فتح عطافرمائے گا ۔ " حضرت عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ بن خطاب نے کہا : اس ایک دن کے علاوہ میں نے کبھی امارت کی تمنا نہیں کی ، کہا : میں نے اس امید کہ مجھے اس کے لئے بلایا جائے گا اپنی گردن اونچی کی تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حضرت علی بن ابی طالب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو بلایا ، ان کو وہ جھنڈا دیا اور فرمایا : " جاؤ ، پیچھےمڑ کر نہ دیکھو ، یہاں تک کہ اللہ تمھیں فتح عطا کردے ۔ " کہا : حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کچھ دور گئے ، پھر ٹھر گئے ، پیچھے مڑ کر نہ دیکھا اور بلند آواز سے پکار کر کہا : اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم !کس بات پر لوگوں سے جنگ کروں؟آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " ان سے لڑو یہاں تک کہ وہ اس بات کی گواہی دیں کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں اور محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اللہ کے رسول ہیں ، اگرانھوں نے ایسا کرلیا توانھوں نے اپنی جانیں اور اپنے مال تم سے محفوظ کرلیے ، سوائے یہ کہ اسی ( شہادت ) کاحق ہو اوران کاحساب اللہ پر ہوگا ۔ "

Sahl b. Sa'd reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person at whose hand Allah would grant victory and who loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger love him also. The people spent the night thinking as to whom it would be given. When it was morning the people hastened to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) all of them hoping that that would be given to him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Where is 'Ali b. Abu Talib? They said: Allah's Messenger, his eyes are sore. He then sent for him and he was brought and Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) applied saliva to his eyes and invoked blessings and he was all right, as if he had no ailment at all, and conferred upon him the standard. 'Ali said: Allah's Messenger, I will fight them until they are like us. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Advance cautiously until you reach their open places, thereafter invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory for them from the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides aright even one person through you that is better for you than to possess the most valuable of the camels.

Salama b. Akwa' reported that it was 'Ali whom Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) left behind him (in the charge of his family and the Islamic State) on the occasion of the campaign of Khaibar, and his eyes were inflamed and he said: Is it for me to remain behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم )? So he went forth and rejoined Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and on the evening of that night (after which) next morning Allah granted victory. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: I will certainly give this standard to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love. or he said: Who loves Allah or His Messenger and Allah will grant him victory through him, and, lo, we saw 'Ali whom we least expected (to be present on that occasion). They (the Companions) said: Here is 'Ali. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon hin) gave him the standard. Allah granted victory at his hand.

Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.

Yazid b. Hayyan reported: We went to him (Zaid b. Arqam) and said to him. You have found goodness (for you had the honour) to live in the company of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and offered prayer behind him, and the rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation of wording that lie said: Behold, for I am leaving amongst you two weighty things, one of which is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, and that is the rope of Allah. He who holds it fast would be on right guidance and he who abandons it would be in error, and in this (hadith) these words are also found: We said: Who are amongst the members of the household? Aren't the wives (of the Holy Prophet) included amongst the members of his house hold? Thereupon he said: No, by Allah, a woman lives with a man (as his wife) for a certain period; he then divorces her and she goes back to her parents and to her people; the members of his household include his ownself and his kith and kin (who are related to him by blood) and for him the acceptance of Zakat is prohibited.
