It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the flag and waved it, and said: "Who is there who will take this flag and fulfill its right?" A man came and said: "Yes, I am (ready)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Move aside." Then another man came, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You also move aside." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One Who has honored the face of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I will give this flag to such a man who will not flee from the battlefield. O Ali! Take this flag." Thus, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) took the flag and set out until Allah Almighty granted victory over Khaybar and Fadak at his hands, and he returned with the dates called 'Ajwah' from there and sun-dried meat.
