ENGLISH- THE SEALED NECTAR – MEMORIES OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)-AUTHOR- ISSAM DIAB
The Prophet marched by way of Isra Mountain and then went forward with the army till
he halted in a valley called Ar-Raji‘, encamping between Khaibar and Ghatfan so as to
prevent the latter from reinforcing the Jews. The guides accompanying him led him to an
intersection from which branched out three roads with different designations; all leading
to his destination. He abstained from following the first two roads on grounds of their
ominous designation and chose the third for its propitious indications.
It is noteworthy that some interesting incidents featured the Muslims’ march towards
Khaibar; of which we mention the following:
1. It has been narrated on the authority of Salamah bin Al-Akwa‘, who said: We
marched upon Khaibar with the Messenger of Allâh [pbuh]. We journeyed during
the night. One of the men said to my brother ‘Amir: Won’t you recite to us some
of your verses, ‘Amir? So he began to chant his verses to urge the camels,
reciting:
2. The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] said: "Who is this driver (of the camels)?" They said:
"It is ‘Amir." He said: "Allâh will show mercy to him." A man said: "Martyrdom is
reserved for him; O Messenger of Allâh, would that you had allowed us to benefit
ourselves from his life."[Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/603; Sahih Muslim 2/115] The Prophet’s Companions
had already known that he would never invoke Allâh’s mercy upon a close
Companion but to single him out for martyrdom.[Sahih Muslim 2/115]
3. On their way down a valley, the Muslims began to entertain Allâh’s Greatness:
shouting at the top of their voices: "Allâh is Great, Allâh is Great, there is no god
but Allâh." The Prophet [pbuh] asked them to lower down their voices saying: "The
One you are invoking is neither absent nor deaf; He is close to you, All-
hearing.[Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/605]"
4. In a spot called As-Sahba’, not far from Khaibar, the Prophet [pbuh] observed the
afternoon prayer, then he called his Companions to have whatever food
provisions they had. What they brought was too scanty to satisfy them all. The

Prophet took it by his hand and it immediately grew in quantity, so they all ate to
their fill. Shortly afterward, he and the others, rinsed their mouths and performed
the evening prayer without ablution [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/603]; he did the same for the
night prayer [Maghazi Al-Waqidi p.112].
The following morning, at sunrise, the Muslims encountered the Jews when they had
come out about their jobs with their axes, spades and strings driving their cattle
along. They began to shout in surprise: "Muhammad has come along with his force!"
The Messenger of Allâh [pbuh] said: "Allâh is Great, Khaibar shall face destruction.
Behold! When we descend in the city centre, it will be a bad day for those who have
been warned (but have not taken heed). [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/603, 604]"
