Hadith text

Narrated Salama:`Ali remained behind the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa of Khaibar as he was suffering from eye trouble. He then said, "(How can) I remain behind the Prophet (ﷺ) ," and followed him. So when he slept on the night of the conquest of Khaibar, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will give the flag tomorrow, or tomorrow the flag will be taken by a man who is loved by Allah and His Apostle , and (Khaibar) will be conquered through him, (with Allah's help)" While every one of us was hopeful to have the flag, it was said, "Here is `Ali" and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him the flag and Khaibar was conquered through him (with Allah's Help)

Salama bataate hain: Ali Khaibar ki jung ke din Nabi se peeche rah gaye kyunke unhe aankh ki takleef thi. Phir unhone kaha, "Main Nabi se peeche kaise rah sakta hoon?" aur unka picha kiya. Isliye jab Khaibar ki fatah ki raat soye, Nabi ne kaha, "Main kal jhanda dunga," ya "Kal jhanda ek aise shaks ke haathon lena jaayega jinse Allah aur uske Rasool pyaar karte hain, aur (Khaibar) unke zariye fatah paaega (Allah ki madad se)." Jabke har koee jhanda paane ki ummeed rakh raha tha, kaha gaya, "Yahaan Ali hain," aur Nabi ne unhe jhanda diya aur Khaibar unke zariye fatah huee (Allah ki madad se).
