Volume 6, Book 60, Number 38:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad: The Verse:–
“And eat and drink until the white thread appears to you distinct from the black thread.” was re –
vealed, but: ‘… of dawn’ was not revealed (along with it) so some men, when intending to fast, used to
tie their legs, one with white thread and the other with black thread and would keep on eating till
they could distinguish one thread from the other. Then Allah revealed’ … of dawn,’ whereupon they
understood that meant the night and the day.

Allah’s Apostle said, “Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man with whose leadership Allah will
grant (the Muslim) victory.” So the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be giv –
en the flag. The next morning the people went to Allah’s Apostle and every one of them hoped that
he would be given the flag. The Prophet said, “Where is Ali bin Abi Talib?” The people replied, “He is
suffering from eye trouble, O Allah’s Apostle.” He said, “Send for him and bring him to me.” So when
‘Ali came, the Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked good on him, and he became alright as if he had
no ailment. The Prophet then gave him the flag. ‘Ali said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I fight them (i.e.
enemy) till they become like us?” The Prophet said, “Proceed to them steadily till you approach near
to them and then invite them to Islam and inform them of their duties towards Allah which Islam
prescribes for them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam)
through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels.”

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.”
