with their spades and baskets. When they saw him they cried, “By Allah—Muhammad! Muhammad and the army!” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared:

“Khaybar is laid waste; whenever we dismount in a people’s courtyard, wretched is the morning of those who were warned.”

Al-Bukhārī alone recorded this version; Muslim did not.

Al-Bukhārī (1) also said: “Ṣadaqah ibn al-Faḍl related to us; Ibn ʿUyaynah related to us; Ayyūb related to us, from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:

‘We reached Khaybar at dawn, and its people came out with their spades. When they caught sight of the Prophet ﷺ they exclaimed, “By Allah—Muhammad! Muhammad and the army!” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proclaimed:

“Allah is the Greatest! Khaybar is ruined; whenever we dismount in a people’s courtyard, wretched is the morning of those who were warned.”

Later we obtained some meat from domestic donkeys, whereupon a herald of the Prophet ﷺ announced: “Allah and His Messenger forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys, for it is impure.”’”

Al-Bukhārī transmits this on his own; Muslim does not.

Imām Aḥmad (2) reported: ʿAbd al-Razzaq told us; Maʿmar told us, from Qatādah, from Anas, who said:

“When the Prophet ﷺ came to Khaybar he found them coming out to their fields with their spades. When they saw him and the army with him they recoiled and fled back to their fortress. The Prophet ﷺ exclaimed:

“Allah is the Greatest! Khaybar is ruined; whenever we dismount in a people’s courtyard, wretched is the morning of those who were warned.”

Aḥmad relates this alone, and it meets the criteria of the two Ṣaḥīḥs.

Al-Bukhārī (3) further said: Sulaymān ibn Ḥarb related to us; Ḥammād ibn Zayd related to us, from Thābit, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:

“The Prophet ﷺ led the dawn prayer near Khaybar in the early darkness, then declared:

“Allah is the Greatest! Khaybar is ruined; whenever we dismount in a people’s courtyard, wretched is the morning of those who were warned.”

The inhabitants came running through the lanes. The Prophet ﷺ fought the combatants and took the women and children captive. Among the captives was Ṣafiyyah: she first fell to Diḥyah al-Kalbī, then she came to the Prophet ﷺ, who made her emancipation her bridal gift.

ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Ṣuhayb said to Thābit, “Abū Muḥammad, were you the one who asked Anas, ‘What was her bridal gift?’” Thābit nodded in confirmation. Al-Bukhārī narrates this on his own; Muslim does not.

Both al-Bukhārī and Muslim (4) cite the prohibition of eating the flesh of domestic donkeys through several chains that will be mentioned in the Book of Legal Rulings.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Bayhaqī (5) said: Abū Ṭāhir al-Faqīh informed us; Ḥājib ibn Aḥmad al-Ṭūsī informed us; Muḥammad ibn Ḥammād al-Abīwardī related to us; Muḥammad ibn al-Faḍl related to us, from Muslim al-Aʿwar al-Malāʾī, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit the sick, follow funeral processions, accept the invitation of a slave, and ride a donkey. On the day of Qurayẓah and Naḍīr he was mounted on a donkey, and on the day of Khaybar he rode a donkey whose bridle and saddle-pad were both made of palm-fiber.”

Al-Tirmidhī has transmitted this ḥadīth in full through ʿAlī ibn Ḥujar, from ʿAlī ibn Mus-hir, and Ibn Mājah likewise relates it through
