اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَبُو لَيْلَى يَسْمُرُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ ، فَكَانَ يَلْبَسُ ثِيَابَ الصَّيْفِ فِي الشِّتَاءِ ، وَثِيَابَ الشِّتَاءِ فِي الصَّيْفِ ، فَقُلْنَا : لَوْ سَأَلْتَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَرْمَدُ الْعَيْنِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرْمَدُ الْعَيْنِ ، فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْهُ الْحَرَّ وَالْبَرْدَ " ، قَالَ : فَمَا وَجَدْتُ حَرًّا وَلَا بَرْدًا بَعْدَ يَوْمِئِذٍ ، وَقَالَ : " لَأَبْعَثَنَّ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، وَيُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، لَيْسَ بِفَرَّارٍ فَتَشَوَّفَ لَهَا النَّاسُ " ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَأَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ .
´It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu laila said:` "Abu Laila used to travel with 'Ali, and he used to wear summer clothes in winter and winter clothes in summer. We said: 'Why don't you ask him (about that)?' He said: "The Messenger of Allah sent for me and my eyes were sore, on the Day of Khaibar. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my eyes are sore.' He put some spittle into my eyes, then he said: 'O Allah, take heat and cold away from him.' I never felt hot or cold again after that day. He (the Prophet) said: 'I will send a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and whom Allah and His Messenger love, and he is not one who flees from the battlefield.' The people craned their necks to see, and he sent for 'Ali and gave it (the banner) to him."

Commentary:
➊ The Battle of Khaybar took place in the seventh year after the Hijrah. Allah, the Exalted, granted the Muslims victory and success over the Jews of Khaybar, so the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made a sharecropping (muzara‘ah) agreement with the Jews for half of the date harvest. It should be noted that the location of Khaybar is towards Syria from Madinah; it is a land of forts and date palms.
➋ The Tabi‘in (Successors) respected the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) to such an extent that they would not dare to ask questions that were not directly related to knowledge. Therefore, when they wished to know why Ali (radi Allahu anhu) did not take the seasons into account in his clothing, they asked through a companion who was relatively more informal with him.
➌ It is a special distinction of Ali (radi Allahu anhu) that he was specifically summoned to lead the army.
➍ The removal of Ali’s (radi Allahu anhu) eye ailment by the saliva of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is a miracle of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and a proof of his Prophethood.
➎ This blessed statement of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is evidence of the complete faith of Ali (radi Allahu anhu), which refutes the Khawarij.
➏ This incident is established by the narrations of the two Sahihs. See: (Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Maghazi, Hadith: 4310, and Sahih Muslim, al-Jihad, Hadith: 120). However, in those narrations, there is no mention of not being affected by cold and heat. This is mentioned only in the narration under discussion, in whose chain of transmission there is a narrator, “Muhammad ibn Abi Layla,” who is weak. And Imam Busiri and others have explicitly stated that any narration in which he is the sole narrator is not acceptable as proof. And in mentioning the matter of heat and cold, he is the sole narrator; therefore, this part of the narration is not authentic. And Allah knows best.
➐ In the previous hadith, the word “mawla” appeared; from this narration, it is clear that here it means “beloved” and “friend.”
