Romanisation
Allāhu akbar, kharibat Khaybar. Innā idhā nazalnā bi-sāḥati qawmin fa-sā’a ṣabāḥu-l-mundharīn.
Context
We relate in both Ṣaḥīḥs from Anas 
, who related that the Prophet 
came to Khaybar at daybreak. When the Jews of Khaybar saw him they said: “Muḥammad and the army!” They took refuge in the fort. The Prophet raised his hands and said: “Allah is greater! Khaybar is ruined. ‘When we descend in a people’s courtyard—how evil will be the morning of those who were warned!’ [5].” [6].
