Volume 4, Book 52, Number 192:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
That he heard the Prophet on the day (of the battle) of Khaibar saying, “I will give the flag to a per –
son at whose hands Allah will grant victory.” So, the companions of the Prophet got up, wishing
eagerly to see to whom the flag will be given, and everyone of them wished to be given the flag. But
the Prophet asked for ‘Ali. Someone informed him that he was suffering from eye-trouble. So, he
ordered them to bring ‘Ali in front of him. Then the Prophet spat in his eyes and his eyes were cured
immediately as if he had never any eye-trouble. ‘Ali said, “We will fight with them (i.e. infidels) till
they become like us (i.e. Muslims).” The Prophet said, “Be patient, till you face them and invite them
to Islam and inform them of what Allah has enjoined upon them. By Allah! If a single person em –
braces Islam at your hands (i.e. through you), that will be better for you than the red camels.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 193:
Narrated Anas:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle attacked some people, he would never attack them till it was dawn. If he
heard the Adhan (i.e. call for prayer) he would delay the fight, and if he did not hear the Adhan, he
would attack them immediately after dawn. We reached Khaibar at night.

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 195:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet set out for Khaibar and reached it at night. He used not to attack if he reached the
people at night, till the day broke. So, when the day dawned, the Jews came out with their bags and
spades. When they saw the Prophet; they said, “Muhammad and his army!” The Prophet said,
Allahu–Akbar! (Allah is Greater) and Khaibar is ruined, for whenever we approach a nation (i.e.
enemy to fight) then it will be a miserable morning for those who have been warned.”

Narrated Ka’b bin Malik:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle intended to carry out a Ghazwa, he would use an equivocation to con –
ceal his real destination till it was the Ghazwa of Tabuk which Allah’s Apostle carried out in very hot
weather. As he was going to face a very long journey through a wasteland and was to meet and at –
tack a large number of enemies. So, he made the situation clear to the Muslims so that they might
prepare themselves accordingly and get ready to conquer their enemy. The Prophet informed them
of the destination he was heading for (Ka’b bin Malik used to say, “Scarcely did Allah’s Apostle set out
for a journey on a day other than Thursday.”)
