«قال رسول الله يوم خيبر: «لأعطين هذه الراية رجلاً يفتح الله على يديه، يحب الله ورسوله ويحبه الله ورسوله». فبات الناس يدوكون ليلتهم أيهم يعطاها، فأعطاها علياً وهو أرمد فبصق في عينيه فبرأ»

Summary
A report of Sahl ibn Sa'd and Salama ibn al-Akwa' in the virtues of Ali, in the Book of the Virtues of the Companions. On the morning of the conquest, the Prophet ﷺ called people for the banner and chose Ali while he had sore eyes; Ali was healed and the Prophet said, "that God guides one man through you is better for you than red camels". He then ordered him to call them to Islam peacefully before fighting. 1
