The reader: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted "from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)

That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of Khaybar: "I will give this banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will grant victory through his hands." 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I did not desire leadership except on that day, so I was eager for it."

أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يوم خيبر لأعطين هذه الراية رجل يحب الله ورسوله يفتح الله على يديه قال عمر رضي الله عنه ما أحببت الإمارة إلا يومئذ فتساورت لها

"

The Shaykh : except on that day
The reader: "

Umar b. Khattab said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called 'Ali b. Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and 'Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.

قال عمر رضي الله عنه ما أحببت الإمارة إلا يومئذ فتساورت لها رجاء أن أدعى لها فدعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه فأعطاه إياها وقال امش ولا تلتفت حتى يفتح الله عليك فسار على شيئا ثم وقف ولم يلتفت فصرخ يا رسول الله على ماذا أقاتل الناس قال قاتلهم حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله فإذا فعلوا ذلك فقد منعوا منك دماءهم وأموالهم إلا بحقها وحسابهم على الله
