تاريخ الإسلام والأنبياء والصحابة
غزوة خيبر
1,400 combatants (200 cavalry) — exclusively those who gave Bay'at al-Ridwan — Khaybar was the strongest fortified bastion in Arabia, stocked with years of provisions and water springs.
16–18 Shuhada
10,000 armed defenders across 8 massive basalt stone citadels
93 slain (including Marhab and Harith), fortresses capitulated
After several fortresses were reduced, Fort Al-Qamus resisted fiercely. The Prophet ﷺ announced: 'Tomorrow I shall give the standard to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and whom Allah and His Messenger love.' He handed it to Ali, whose eyes he cured. Ali slew Marhab in single combat and ripped the heavy iron door of the fort to use as a shield.
Step-by-step assault taking Na'im and As-Sa'b ibn Mu'adh fortress complexes.
Ali split Marhab's helmet and skull with Zulfiqar in the decisive duel before the citadel.
Surrender of the remaining citadels and signing the agrarian lease agreement.
Permanently neutralized northern tribal threats, brought economic self-sufficiency to the Muslim community, and demonstrated master fortress-siege warfare.
وَعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ مَغَانِمَ كَثِيرَةً تَأْخُذُونَهَا فَعَجَّلَ لَكُمْ هَٰذِهِ وَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَ النَّاسِ عَنكُمْ
“Allah has promised you much booty that you will take [in the future] and has hastened for you this [victory at Khaybar] and withheld the hands of people from you.”
Narrated Sahl ibn Sa'd: The Prophet ﷺ said on the eve of Khaybar: 'Tomorrow I will give the flag to someone through whose hands Allah will give us victory. He loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.' Next morning he gave it to Ali.
Narrating Marhab's battle poetry ('I am the one whom Khaybar knows as Marhab') and Ali's answer ('I am the one whose mother named him Haydar').
