حدثنا أبو معمر، حدثنا عبد الوارث، حدثنا أيوب، عن حميد بن هلال، عن أنس بن مالك  رضى الله عنه  قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أخذ الراية زيد فأصيب، ثم أخذها جعفر فأصيب، ثم أخذها عبد الله بن رواحة فأصيب  وإن عينى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لتذرفان  ثم أخذها خالد بن الوليد من غير إمرة ففتح له ‏"‏
 Narrated Anas bin Malik:                     The Prophet said, "Zaid took over the flag and was martyred. Then it was taken by Jafar who was martyred as well. Then `Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag but he too was martyred and at that time the eyes of Allah's Apostle were full of tears. Then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag without being nominated as a chief (before hand) and was blessed with victory."
