ahmad:12240Yazīd > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit al-Bunānī > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] It was narrated that Safiyyah fell into the hands of Dihyah al-Kalbi, so the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, Safiyyah has fallen into the hands of a beautiful young girl, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bought her for seven captives and placed her with Umm Sulaym until she was ready and prepared in a way known to Hammam. Then the people said, 'By Allah, we do not know whether the Messenger of Allah will marry her or set her free.' When he carried her, he put his cloak over her and placed her behind him. The people knew that he had married her. When he was near Medina, the people set up camp, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set up camp, and this is what they used to do. The camel stumbled and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stumbled, and she also stumbled with him. The Prophet's wives looked at her and said, 'May Allah protect the Jewess and what the Prophet ﷺ has done to her.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ covered her with his cloak and placed her behind him.  

أحمد:١٢٢٤٠حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ وَقَعَتْ فِي سَهْمِ دِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ وَقَعَتْ فِي سَهْمِ دِحْيَةَ جَارِيَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ فَاشْتَرَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِسَبْعَةِ أَرْؤُسٍ فَجَعَلَهَا عِنْدَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ حَتَّى تَهَيَّأَ وَتَعْتَدَّ فِيمَا يَعْلَمُ حَمَّادٌ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ وَاللهِ مَا نَدْرِي أَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ تَسَرَّاهَا؟ فَلَمَّا حَمَلَهَا سَتَرَهَا وَأَرْدَفَهَا خَلْفَهُ فَعَرَفَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوْضَعَ النَّاسُ وَأَوْضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَذَلِكَ كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ فَعَثَرَتِ النَّاقَةُ فَخَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَرَّتْ مَعَهُ وَأَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَنْظُرْنَ فَقُلْنَ أَبْعَدَ اللهُ الْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَفَعَلَ بِهَا وَفَعَلَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَتَرَهَا وَأَرْدَفَهَا خَلْفَهُ
