It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had only one woman of the women of Banu Qurayzah killed. By Allah! She was sitting with me, laughing until she was rolling about, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was having their men killed with swords. Just then a caller called out her name: "Where is so-and-so?" She said: "By Allah! Here I am." I said (in astonishment): "Woe to you! What is the matter with you?" She said: "By Allah! I am going to be killed." I asked: "Why?" She said: "Because of a matter (a crime) that I committed." Then she was taken away and her neck was struck. I do not forget my amazement at the contentment of her soul and how much she smiled, despite knowing that she would be killed. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Iyas bin Salamah narrates from his father that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as commander, and we fought against some people of Banu Fazarah. When we came near the water, we rested on the order of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him); then when we had prayed the morning prayer, we launched a sudden raid on his order. We reached the water and killed those who were there. Then a group of people turned back, among them children and women, who were close to escaping towards the mountain, so we shot an arrow between them and the mountain, and it made them stop. I drove them along and brought them to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Among them was a woman of Banu Fazarah who was wearing a garment of leather, and with her was her daughter, who was one of the most beautiful women of the Arabs. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave me that girl as a reward. I came to Madinah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met me in the market and said: "O Salamah, may your father be blessed! Give this woman to me." I said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah! I have not even touched her yet, and she is yours." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her to Makkah and, in exchange for her, paid the ransom of the Muslim prisoners who were in the hands of the polytheists and had them released. Imam Muslim has narrated it in a context other than this one.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at al-Hudaybiyah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not light fires at night." Then after that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Light fires and prepare food. Remember! No people coming after you will attain (the rank and reward of) your one sa' and your one mudd." 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 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). He set off, but when he came back he was declaring his companions to be cowards and his companions were calling him a coward. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man (with the banner), but he showed cowardice and came back. Then Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have never seen (a sight) like today; (his brother) Mahmud bin Maslamah has been martyred." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not wish to meet the enemy, and ask Allah for well-being, for you do not know how you will be tested with them. But when you do meet them, say: 'Allahumma anta rabbuna wa rabbuhum, wa nawasina wa nawasihim biyadik, wa innama taqtuluhum anta' (O Allah, You are our Lord and their Lord, our forelocks and their forelocks are in Your hand, and it is only You who kills them). Then keep firmly seated on the ground, and when they come upon you, rise up and call out 'Allahu Akbar'." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tomorrow I will give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him; he will not turn his back and flee, and Allah will grant victory at his hands." The people began craning their necks in hope of this honour, while Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was suffering from an eye ailment in those days. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Go forward." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I cannot see anything." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) put his saliva in his eyes, prepared the banner for him and handed it to him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! On what basis shall I fight them?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the basis that they bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah. When they accept this, they will have protected their blood and their wealth from me, except by their due right, and their reckoning rests with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic." The narrator says: Then he met the enemy, and Allah granted victory at his hands. The two Shaykhs agreed on (recording) the basis of the hadith of the banner, but they did not record it with this wording.
