Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367:
Narrated ‘Abdul ‘Aziz:
Anas said, ‘When Allah’s Apostle invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there yearly in the
morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind
Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the
thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet.
