1. Narrated Abdullah Bin Abbas: Allah Messenger ﷺ wrote to Caesar and invited him to Islam and sent him his letter with Dihya AlKalbi whom Allah Messenger ﷺ ordered to hand it over to the Governor of Busra who would forward it to Caesar. Caesar as a sign of gratitude to Allah; had walked from Hims to Ilya i.e. Jerusalem when Allah had granted Him victory over the Persian forces. So; when the letter of Allah Messenger ﷺ reached Caesar; he said after reading it; Seek for me any one of his people! Arabs of Quraish tribe if present here; in order to ask him about Allah Messenger ﷺ. At that time Abu Sufyan Bin Harb was in Sham with some men frown Quraish who had come to Sham as merchants during the truce that had been concluded between Allah Messenger ﷺ ; and the infidels of Quraish. Abu Sufyan said; Caesar messenger found us somewhere in Sham so he took me and my companions to Ilya and we were admitted into Ceasar court to find him sitting in his royal court wearing a crown and surrounded by the senior dignitaries of the Byzantine. He said to his translator. Ask them who amongst them is a close relation to the man who claims to be a prophet. Abu Sufyan added; I replied; I am the nearest relative to him. He asked; What degree of relationship do you have with him? I replied; He is my cousin; and there was none of Bani Abu Manaf in the caravan except myself. Caesar said; Let him come nearer. He then ordered that my companions stand behind me near my shoulder and said to his translator; Tell his companions that I am going to ask this man about the man who claims to be a prophet. If he tells a lie; they should contradict him immediately. Abu Sufyan added; By Allah! Had it not been shameful that my companions label me a liar; I would not have spoken the truth about him when he asked me. But I considered it shameful to be called a liar by my companions. So I told the truth. He then said to his translator; Ask him what kind of family does he belong to. I replied; He belongs to a noble family amongst us. He said; Have anybody else amongst you ever claimed the same before him? I replied; No. He said; Had you ever blamed him for telling lies before he claimed what he claimed? I replied; No. He said; Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king? I replied; No. He said; Do the noble or the poor follow him? I replied; It is the poor who follow him. He said; Are they increasing or decreasing day by day ? I replied; They are increasing. He said; Does anybody amongst those who embrace his the Prophets Religion become displeased and then discard his Religion?. I replied; No. He said; Does he break his promises? I replied; No; but we are now at truce with him and we are afraid that he may betray us. Abu Sufyan added; Other than the last sentence; I could not say anything against him. Caesar then asked; Have you ever had a war with him? I replied; Yes. He said; What was the outcome of your battles with him? I replied; The result was unstable; sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we. He said; What does he order you to do? I said; He tells us to worship Allah alone; and not to worship others along with Him; and to leave all that our fore-fathers used to worship. He orders us to pray; give in charity; be chaste; keep promises and return what is entrusted to us. When I had said that; Caesar said to his translator; Say to him: I ask you about his lineage and your reply was that he belonged to a noble family. In fact; all the apostles came from the noblest lineage of their nations. Then I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you had claimed such a thing; and your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative; I would have thought that this man was following a claim that had been said before him. When I asked you whether he was ever blamed for telling lies; your reply was in the negative; so I took it for granted that a person who did not tell a lie about others the people could never tell a lie about Allah. Then I asked you whether any of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative; and if it had been in the affirmative; I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom. When I asked you whether the rich or the poor people followed him; you replied that it was the poor who followed him. In fact; such are the followers of the apostles. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing. In fact; this is the result of true faith till it is complete in all respects. I asked you whether there was anybody who; after embracing his religion; became displeased and discarded his religion; your reply was in the negative. In fact; this is the sign of true faith; for when its cheerfulness enters and mixes in the hearts completely; nobody will be displeased with it. I asked you whether he had ever broken his promise. You replied in the negative. And such are the apostles; they never break their promises. When I asked you whether you fought with him and he fought with you; you replied that he did; and that sometimes he was victorious and sometimes you. Indeed; such are the apostles; they are put to trials and the final victory is always theirs. Then I asked you what he ordered you. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah alone and not to worship others along with Him; to leave all that your fore-fathers used to worship; to offer prayers; to speak the truth; to be chaste; to keep promises; and to return what is entrusted to you. These are really the qualities of a prophet who; I knew from the previous Scriptures would appear; but I did not know that he would be from amongst you. If what you say should be true; he will very soon occupy the earth under my feet; and if I knew that I would reach him definitely; I would go immediately to meet Him; and were I with him; then I would certainly wash his feet. Abu Sufyan added; Caesar then asked for the letter of Allah Messenger ﷺ and it was read. Its contents were: In the name of Allah; the most Beneficent; the most Merciful This letter is from Muhammad; the slave of Allah; and His Apostle; to Heraculius; the Ruler of the Byzantine. Peace be upon the followers of guidance. Now then; I invite you to Islam i.e. surrender to Allah ; embrace Islam and you will be safe; embrace Islam and Allah will bestow on you a double reward. But if you reject this invitation of Islam; you shall be responsible for misguiding the peasants i.e. your nation. O people of the Scriptures! Come to a word common to you and us and you; that we worship. None but Allah; and that we associate nothing in worship with Him; and that none of us shall take others as Lords besides Allah. Then if they turn away; say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered unto Him.. 3.64 Abu Sufyan added; When Heraclius had finished his speech; there was a great hue and cry caused by the Byzantine Royalties surrounding him; and there was so much noise that I did not understand what they said. So; we were turned out of the court. When I went out with my companions and we were alone; I said to them; Verily; Ibn Abi Kabsha i.e. the Prophets affair has gained power. This is the King of Bani AlAsfar fearing him. Abu Sufyan added; By Allah; I remained low and was sure that his religion would be victorious till Allah converted me to Islam; though I disliked it. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4610
2. Narrated Sahl Bin Sad: That he heard the Prophet ﷺ on the day of the battle of Khaibar saying; I will give the flag to a person at whose hands Allah will grant victory. So; the companions of the Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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 embraces Islam at your hands i.e. through you ; that will be better for you than the red camels. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4611
3. Narrated Anas: Whenever Allah Messenger ﷺ attacked some people; he would never attack them till it was dawn. If he heard the Adhan i.e. call for prayer he would delay the fight; and if he did not hear the Adhan; he would attack them immediately after dawn. We reached Khaibar at night. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4612
4. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah Apostle said; I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah; and whoever says; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah; his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law; and his accounts will be with Allah; either to punish him or to forgive him. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4615
5. Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ set out for Khaibar and reached it at night. He used not to attack if he reached the people at night; till the day broke. So; when the day dawned; the Jews came out with their bags and spades. When they saw the Prophet; they said; Muhammad and his army! The Prophet ﷺ said; Allahu-Akbar! Allah is Greater and Khaibar is ruined; for whenever we approach a nation i.e. enemy to fight then it will be a miserable morning for those who have been warned. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4614
