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.
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
  حضرت سلمہ بن اکوع رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے ، کہا : غزوہ خیبر میں حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے پیچھے رہ گئے ، انھیں آشوب چشم تھا ۔ پھر انھوں نے کہا : میں تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پیچھے رہ گیا!چنانچہ حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ( وہاں سے ) نکلے اور نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے آملے ، جب اس رات کی شام آئی جس کی صبح کو اللہ تعالیٰ نے خیبر فتح کرایا تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " کل میں جھنڈا اس کودوں گایا ( فرمایا : ) کل جھنڈا وہ شخص لے گا جس سے اللہ اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو محبت ہے یا فرمایا : جواللہ اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے محبت کرتاہے ، اللہ تعالیٰ اس کے ہاتھ پر فتح دے گا ۔ " پھر اچانک ہم نے حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو دیکھا اور ہمیں اس کے بارے میں کوئی توقع نہیں تھی تو صحابہ رضوان للہ عنھم اجمعین نے کہا : یہ حضرت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ہیں ، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان کو جھنڈا عطا کردیا اور اللہ نے ان کے ہاتھ پرفتح عطا کردی ۔

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.

Sahl b. Sa`d reported that a person from the offspring of Marwan was appointed as the governor of Medina. He called Sahl b. Sa`d and ordered him to abuse `Ali. Sahl refused to do that. He (the governor) said to him: If you do not agree to it (at least) say: May Allah curse Abu Turab. Sahl said: There was no name dearer to `Ali than Abu Turab (for it was given to him by the Prophet himself) and he felt delighted when he was called by this name. He (the governor) said to him: Narrate to us the story of his being named as Abu Turab. He said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came to the house of Fatima and he did not find `Ali in the house; whereupon he said: Where is your uncle's son? She said: (There cropped up something) between me and him which had annoyed him with me. He went out and did not rest here. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) asked a person to find out where he was. He came and said: Allah's Messenger, he is sleeping in the mosque. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came to him and found him lying in the mosque and saw that his mantle had slipped from his back and his back was covered with dust and Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) began to wipe it away from him (from the body of Hadrat `Ali) saying: Get up, covered with dust (Abu Turab); get up, covered with dust.
