Narrated Sahl:
On the day (of the battle) of Khaibar the Prophet said, “Tomorrow I will give the flag to somebody
who will be given victory (by Allah) and who loves Allah and His Apostle and is loved by Allah and
His Apostle.” So, the people wondered all that night as to who would receive the flag and in the
morning everyone hoped that he would be that person. Allah’s Apostle asked, “Where is ‘Ali?” He was
told that ‘Ali was suffering from eye-trouble, so he applied saliva to his eyes and invoked Allah to
cure him. He at once got cured as if he had no ailment. The Prophet gave him the flag. ‘Ali said,
“Should I fight them till they become like us (i.e. Muslim)?” The Prophet said, “Go to them patiently
and calmly till you enter the land. Then, invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined
upon them, for, by Allah, if Allah gives guidance to somebody through you, it is better for you than
possessing red camels.”
