Prophet Muhammad heals him and Imam Ali leads the Muslims to victory.- Imam Ali single handedly moves the fallen gate of Khaybar, which was so heavy it normally take many men to open and close it.In addition, while Imam Ali was sick, Prophet Muhammad also offered the army's standard (i.e. leadership) to Abu Bakr and Umar, giving them a chance to take on the fortress.
