Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5797 — on the day of Khaybar the Messenger

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ، ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَومَ خَيْبَرَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ» ، فَبَاتَ النَّاسُ يَذْكُرُونَ لَيْلَتَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يُعْطِي، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا غَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ عَلِيٌّ؟» ، قَالُوا: هُوَ هَهُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْمَدُ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ، فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَدَعَا بِمَا شَاءَ اللهُ، فَبَرَأَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ وَجَعٌ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ، وَقَالَ: «امْضِ قُدُمًا» فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مِثْلَنَا، قَالَ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكَ انْفُذْ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَقِّ اللهِ فِيهِ، فَلَأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ بِكَ رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا، خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ»
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) said that on the day of Khaybar the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tomorrow I will give this banner to a man at whose hands Allah will grant victory." The people spent the whole night wondering which of them would be given it. When morning came, they went early to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where is Ali?" The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, he is here; his eyes are sore. He (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for him, applied his saliva to his eyes and prayed as Allah willed, and he recovered so that no pain remained in him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the banner and said: "Go forward." He said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I fight them until they become like us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Proceed calmly until you descend into their territory, then invite them to Islam, and tell them what is obligatory upon them of the right of Allah in it. For if Allah guides a single man through you, that is better for you than red camels."
