Sahih Muslim : 1314c
Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1314c
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْزِلُنَا - إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِذَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ - الْخَيْفُ حَيْثُ تَقَاسَمُوا عَلَى الْكُفْرِ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: God willing, when Allah has granted us victory, our halt tomorrow will be at Khaif, where they (the unbelievers of Mecca) had taken an oath on unbelief.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1314c
This hadith reports the Prophet’s words about where they would halt when Allah granted victory. He said, God willing, their halt would be at Khaif, the place where the unbelievers of Mecca had taken an oath on unbelief. The narration is short, but it joins three clear ideas: reliance on Allah’s will, victory granted by Allah, and a specific place connected with an oath. For someone searching for Khaif of Banu Kinanah hadith or when Allah grants victory hadith, this narration gives the wording directly. It does not add extra travel details in this version. The core message should be kept close to the text: the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) named the place and linked it to that earlier oath.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “God willing” when speaking about a future halt.
- The report links victory to Allah granting it.
- Khaif is described as the place where an oath on unbelief was taken.
