2235. Narrated Anas bin Mâlik رضي الله عنه : the Prophet ﷺ came to Khaibar and when Allâh made him victorious and he conquered the town by breaking the enemy's defense, the beauty of Safiyya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was mentioned to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. Allâh's (1) (Ch. 111) Pregnant from another man, not her master. Messenger ﷺ selected her for himself and he set out in her company till he reached Saddar-Rawḥā' where her menses were over and he married her. Then Hais (a kind of meal) was prepared and served on a small leather sheet (used for serving meals). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said to me, "Inform those who are around you (about the wedding banquet)." So that was the marriage banquet given by Allāh's Messenger for (his marriage with) Ṣafīyya. After that we proceeded to Al-Madīna and I saw that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was covering her with a cloak while she was behind him. Then he would sit beside his camel and let Ṣafīyya put her feet on his knees to ride (the camel).

2235 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الغَفَّارِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الحِصْنَ ذُكِرَ لَهُ جَمَالُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ، وَقَدْ قُتِلَ زَوْجُهَا، وَكَانَتْ عَرُوسًا، فَاصْطَفَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَفْسِهِ، فَخَرَجَ بِهَا حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا سَدَّ الرَّوْحَاءِ حَلَّتْ فَبَنَى بِهَا، ثُمَّ صَنَعَ حَيْسًا فِي نِطَعٍ صَغِيرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «آذِنْ مَنْ حَوْلَكَ»، فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ وَلِيمَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى المَدِينَةِ قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَوِّي لَهَا وَرَاءَهُ بِعَبَاءَةٍ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ بَعِيرِهِ، فَيَضَعُ رُكْبَتَهُ فَتَضَعُ صَفِيَّةُ رِجْلَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ حَتَّى تَرْكَبَ
