It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for (the expedition of) Khaybar, he (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Siba' bin Urfutah al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) as his deputy (governor) in Madinah. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Amr bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to some of the fortresses of Khaybar. He fought and strove hard, but victory was not granted at that time. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "O Abu Layla! Were you not with us at Khaybar?" I said: "By Allah, of course! I was with you." He said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to Khaybar. He marched with the people, and was defeated and turned back." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes suffer from migraine (shaqiqah), because of which he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not come out for a day or two. When he reached Khaybar, he was struck by migraine and did not come out to the people. So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) took up the banner of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), advanced and fought fiercely, and then he returned. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Khaybar. When he reached it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and sent people with him to the enemy's town or fortress. They fought them, but before long (the enemy) forced Umar and his companions to turn back. When they came back, they were calling one another cowards, and this situation displeased the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Khaybar the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) handed the banner to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
