Bayhaqi 18230 — Inviting to Islam the polytheists whom the call

وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ: " لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ". فَبَاتَ النَّاسُ يَدُوكُونَ أَيُّهُمْ يُعْطَاهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ غَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ⦗١٨١⦘ كُلُّهُمْ يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطَاهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيْنَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ؟ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ. فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنِهِ وَدَعَا لَهُ فَبَرَأَ مَكَانَهُ، حَتَّى لَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ شَيْءٌ، فَأَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مِثْلَنَا. قَالَ: " عَلَى رِسْلِكَ، انْفُذْ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ، فَوَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ بِكَ الرَّجُلَ الْوَاحِدَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ.
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the day of Khaybar: "I will give the banner to a man at whose hands Allah will grant victory." The people spent the night discussing which of them would be given it. In the morning the people went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), each hoping that it would be given to him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where is Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah, his eyes are troubling him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for him, applied his saliva to his eyes and supplicated for him. He was healed on the spot, as though he had never had any ailment. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the banner, and he said: O Messenger of Allah, shall we fight them until they become like us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go gently; proceed until you camp in their open ground, then invite them to Islam and inform them of the obligations upon them in it. By Allah, that Allah should guide a single man through you is better for you than red camels."
