حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا غَزَا قَوْمًا لَمْ يُغِرْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا أَمْسَكَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا أَغَارَ بَعْدَ مَا يُصْبِحُ، فَنَزَلْنَا خَيْبَرَ لَيْلاً‏.‏

Translation

'Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us; Mu'awiya ibn 'Amr narrated to us; Abu Ishaq narrated to us from Humayd, who said: I heard Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) say: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went on a campaign against a people, he would not attack until morning. If he heard a call to prayer, he held back; if he did not hear a call to prayer, he attacked after dawn. We arrived at Khaybar at night.
