When it was morning, the people hastened to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Every one of them was hoping that the banner would be given to him. He asked: “Where is ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, his eyes are sore.” He said: “Send for him to come.” When he came, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) spat into his eyes and supplicated Allah for him. Thereupon, ‘Ali recovered as if he had no ailment at all, so he (the Messenger of Allah) gave him the banner. ‘Ali said: “O Messenger of Allah, shall I fight against them until they are like us (Muslims)?” He replied: “Advance cautiously until you reach their courtyard; then invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory on them of the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides even one person through you, it is better for you than possessing a fortune of red camels.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
قوله: «يَدُوكُونَ» أيْ يَخُوضُونَ وَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ، قَوْلُهُ: «رِسْلِكَ» بكسر الراءِ وَبفَتْحِهَا لُغَتَانِ، وَالْكَسْرُ أَفْصَحُ.
