It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the banner and waved it, then asked: "Who will take it with its due right?" Thereupon Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) came forward and said: I (will). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Step back." Then another man stood up and said: I. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Step back." Then another man stood up and said: I. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Step back." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One who honoured the face of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will certainly give it to a man who will not flee with it. Here, O Ali, take it." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) took it and set off, until Allah Almighty granted the conquest of Fadak and Khaybar (at his hands), and he brought back from there 'ajwah dates and dried meat.
