English translation

2998. It was narrated that Anas said: "The captives were gathered, meaning at Khaibar, and Dihyah came, and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, give me a slave woman from among the captives.' He said: 'Go and take a slave woman.'" He took Šafiyyah the daughter of Huyayy. A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, did you give Dihyah' — Ya'qūb (one of the narrators) said: 'Šafiyyah the daughter of Huyayy' — 'the lady of Quraizah and An-Naḏīr?' Then the two of them (narrators) were in accord: 'She is not worthy for anyone but you.' He said; 'Call him and tell him to bring her.' When the Prophet ﷺ saw her, he said to him: 'Take another slave woman from among the captives.' And the Prophet ﷺ freed her, and married her." (Ṣaḥīh)

2998 - حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: جُمِعَ السَّبْيُ - يَعْنِي بِخَيْبَرَ - فَجَاءَ دِحْيَةُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَعْطِنِي جَارِيَةً مِنَ السَّبْيِ، قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ جَارِيَةً»، فَأَخَذَ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، أَعْطَيْتَ دِحْيَةَ، قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ سَيِّدَةَ قُرَيْظَةَ، وَالنَّضِيرِ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا مَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لَكَ، قَالَ: «ادْعُوهُ بِهَا» فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لَهُ: «خُذْ جَارِيَةً مِنَ السَّبْيِ غَيْرَهَا» وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا»
