Musnad Abi Ya'la 3804 — When the Prophet ﷺ intended to fight a people
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا غَزَا قَوْمًا لَمْ يَغْزُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ ، فَيَنْظُرَ ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا كَفَّ عَنْهُمْ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا أَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ ، فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهَا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا رَكِبَ وَرَكِبْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، وَإِنَّ قَدَمِي لَتَمَسُّ قَدَمَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجُوا عَلَيْنَا بِمَكَاتِلِهِمْ وَمُرُورِهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوُا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالُوا : مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ ، إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to fight a people, he would not attack until morning came. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would wait: if he heard the call to prayer (adhan), he would refrain from attacking them, and if he did not hear the adhan, he would launch a raid on them. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (Once) we set out for Khaybar and reached it. When morning came and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not hear the adhan, he (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his riding animal, and I was riding behind Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him); (so close were we that) my foot was touching the blessed foot of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people of Khaybar came out with their baskets and spades (towards their fields), and when they suddenly saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they cried out: 'Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has arrived with his army!' When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he said: 'Allahu akbar (Allah is the Greatest)! Khaybar is ruined. Indeed, when we descend upon the courtyard of a people, evil is the morning of those who were warned.'"
