ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ أَخْذِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ صَفِيَّةَ مِنَ الصَّفِيِّ

[Machine] "I was in the row behind my father Talhah on the day of Khaybar, and indeed my foot touched the foot of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So we came to Khaybar while they (the enemy) had already come out with their bags, helmets, and shackles. They said, 'Muhammad and Al-Khamis have come.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allahu Akbar! Khaybar is ruined, for when we descend upon the territory of a people, morning is a bad time for those who are warned.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought them and defeated them. When the booty was divided, it was said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , 'Indeed, a beautiful young girl from the offspring of Dihyah Al-Kalbi fell to the lot of Allah's Messenger ﷺ as his share, so he bought her with seven heads (of goats).' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ handed her over to Umm Sulaim to prepare her, and Umm Sulaim used to accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in battles. He called for a razor, and she was brought. He then gave her a head shave, and he gave her dates and clarified butter, and she carried it. Then he set up a curtain, and commanded that the curtain be stretched. When the people had eaten their fill, they said, 'Did he marry her or take her as a concubine?' They said, 'If he marries her, then she will be his wife, but if he takes her as a concubine, then she will be a mother for the offspring.' When he intended to ride, he made her ride, and made her sit behind him. When they drew near to Medina, he let the camel go, and the people placed their palms upon her, and the women came out to look at her. She then stumbled, and Safiyah fell, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and covered her. The women said, 'May Allah keep the Jewess away!' and they made remarks about her. Thabit said: 'So I said to Anas: "O Abu Hamzah! Did Messenger of Allah ﷺ fall from his camel?" He replied: "Yes, by Allah he did fall from his camel, O Abu Muhammad."

I was sitting behind Abu Talha on the Day of Khaibar and my feet touched the foot of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we came (to the people of Khaibar) when the sun had risen and they had driven out their cattle, and had themselves come out with their axes, large baskets and hatchets, and they said: (Here come) Muhammad and the army. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Khaibar is ruined. Verily when we get down in the valley of a people, evil is the morning of the warned ones (al-Qur'an, xxxvii. 177). Allah, the Majestic and the Glorious, defeated them (the inhabitants of Khaibar), and there fell to the lot of Dihya a beautiful girl, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ got her in exchange of seven heads, and then entrusted her to Umm Sulaim so that she might embellish her and prepare her (for marriage) with him. He (the narrator) said: He had been under the impression that he had said that so that she might spend her period of 'Iddah in her (Umm Sulaim's) house. (The woman) was Safiyya daughter of Huyayy. Messenger of Allah ﷺ arranged the wedding feast consisting of dates, cheese, and refined butter, and pits were dug and tiers were set in them dining cloths, and there was brought cheese and refined butter, and these were placed there. And the people ate to their fill, and they said: We do not know whether he (the Holy Prophet) had married her (as a free woman), or as a slave woman. They said: If he (the Holy Prophet) would make her wear the veil, then she would be a (free married) woman, and if he would not make her wear the veil, then she should be a slave woman. When he intended to ride, he made her wear the veil and she sat on the hind part of the camel; so they came to know that he had married her. As they approached Medina, Messenger of Allah ﷺ drove (his ride) quickly and so we did. 'Adba' (the name of Allah's Apostle's camel) stumbled and Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell down and she (Radrat Safiyya: also fell down. He (the Holy Prophet) stood up and covered her. Women looked towards her and said: May Allah keep away the Jewess! He (the narrator) said: I said: Aba Hamza, did Messenger of Allah ﷺ really fall down? He said: Yes, by Allah, he in fact fell down.

[Machine] I was in the company of my father Talha on the day of Khaybar, and my feet touched the feet of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We came to them when the sun rose, and they had already brought out their cattle and were herding them. They also came out with their weapons and shackles as they passed by. They said, "Muhammad and al-Khamis (the Prophet and his companions)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allahu Akbar! Khaybar is ruined. When we conquer the land of a people, it is a terrible morning for those who are warned." He said, "Allah has given them a great defeat." He said, "A beautiful young slave girl called Dayyah fell into the hands of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He bought her for seven dinars and then gave her to Umm Sulaim to dress and prepare her. She was the daughter of Huwayy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed her as his concubine and gave her a diet of dates, barley, and clarified butter. Then the ground was tested with locusts and the meat, dates, and clarified butter were placed on it. The people ate until they were full. They said, "We don't know if he married her or made her the mother of a child." They said, "If he hides her, then she is his wife, and if he does not hide her, then she is the mother of a child." When he wanted to ride, he covered her until she sat on the back of a camel. When they came close to Al-Madinah, his she-camel, called Adba', stumbled. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ muttered to himself, and she muttered to herself. He said, "May Allah distance the Jewess." I said, "O Abu Hamzah, did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ marry her?" He said, "Yes, by Allah, he did marry her, and I witnessed the marriage feast of Zaynab bint Jahsh where the people were given bread and meat. He used to send me to invite the people. When I finished, he stood up, and I followed him. Two men lagged behind and he talked to them. They did not come out until they saw him leave. When they saw him, they stood up and left." He said, "By Allah, I do not know if I mentioned it to him or if the revelation came down to him informing him that they had gone out. He left and I followed him. When he put his foot in the threshold of the door, he drew the curtain between me and him. Then Allah revealed these Ayat: 'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses until permission is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation.' Until the end of the Ayah."
