[Machine] Regarding this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not necessary for you to do so, for Allah has decreed who is the Creator until the Day of Judgment."
عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَتَبَ مَنْ هُوَ خَالِقٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Talha when he wanted to go out to Khaybar: "Look for a boy from your slaves to serve me." So Abu Talha took me along, while I was a boy who had just reached adolescence. Whenever we would stop, I would serve him and I would hear him frequently saying, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worries, sadness, weakness, laziness, stinginess, cowardice, and the burden of debt and the dominance of men." When the fortress was conquered, the beauty of Safiyyah was mentioned to him. She was a bride whose husband had been killed, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ chose her for himself. When we were at the Sada Al-Sahba, she reached her menstrual period, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ built a living space for her and took her as his wife. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ covering her with his cloak from behind and sitting next to his camel, placing his knee out for her, and she would put her foot on his knee and then ride. When there appeared to us a man from a distance, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is a mountain that loves us and we love it." When he approached the city, he said, "O Allah, indeed Ibrahim made Makkah sacred, O Allah, and indeed I make sacred what is between its two sides. O Allah, bless them in their measuring and their journey."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ حِينَ أَرَادَ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ الْتَمِسْ لِي غُلَامًا مِنْ غِلْمَانِكُمْ يَخْدِمُنِي فَخَرَجَ بِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ مُرْدِفِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ قَدْ رَاهَقْتُ فَكَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ خَدَمْتُهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ كَثِيرًا مَا يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَظَلْعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ فَلَمَّا فُتِحَ الْحِصْنُ ذُكِرَ لَهُ جَمَالُ صَفِيَّةَ وَكَانَتْ عَرُوسًا وَقُتِلَ زَوْجُهَا فَاصْطَفَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِسَدِّ الصَّهْبَاءِ حَلَّتْ فَبَنَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاتَّخَذَ حَيْسًا فِي نِطْعٍ صَغِيرٍ وَكَانَتْ وَلِيمَتَهُ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَوِّي لَهَا بِعَبَاءَةٍ خَلْفَهُ وَيَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ نَاقَتِهِ فَيَضَعُ رُكْبَتَهُ فَتَجِيءُ صَفِيَّةُ فَتَضَعُ رِجْلَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ ثُمَّ تَرْكَبُ فَلَمَّا بَدَا لَنَا أُحُدٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ اللهُمَّ وَإِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي صَاعِهِمْ وَمُدِّهِمْ
