Sahih al-Bukhari 4033 (Book 64, Hadith 249)
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).
“ لأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا ـ أَوْ لَيَأْخُذَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا ـ رَجُلٌ يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِ ”. فَنَحْنُ نَرْجُوهَا فَقِيلَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ، فَأَعْطَاهُ فَفُتِحَ عَلَيْهِ.
