رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 4211. Narrated Anas bin Mālik: We arrived at Khaibar, and when Allāh helped His Messenger ﷺ to open the fort, the beauty of Šāfiyya bint Huyaī bin Akhtab, whose husband had been killed while she was a bride, was mentioned to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ selected her for himself, and set out with her, and when we reached a place called Sadd-aš-Šahbā', Šāfiyya became clean from her menses, then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ married her. Hais (i.e., an Arabian dish) was served on a small leather mat. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Invite the people around you." So that was the marriage banquet of the Prophet ﷺ and Šāfiyya. Then we proceeded towards Al-Madina, and I saw the Prophet ﷺ making for her a kind of cushion with his cloak behind him (on his camel). He then sat beside his camel and put his knee for Šāfiyya to put her foot on, in order to ride (on the camel).

4211 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الغَفَّارِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى المُطَّلِبِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَدِمْنَا خَيْبَرَ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الحِصْنَ، ذُكِرَ لَهُ جَمَالُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ، وَقَدْ قُتِلَ زَوْجُهَا وَكَانَتْ عَرُوسًا، فَاصْطَفَاهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَفْسِهِ، فَخَرَجَ بِهَا حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا سَدَّ الصَّهْبَاءِ حَلَّتْ، فَبَنَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ صَنَعَ حَيْسًا فِي نِطَعٍ صَغِيرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «آذِنْ مَنْ حَوْلَكَ». فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ وَلِيمَتَهُ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى المَدِينَةِ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَوِّي لَهَا وَرَاءَهُ بِعَبَاءَةٍ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ بَعِيرِهِ فَيَضَعُ رُكْبَتَهُ، وَتَضَعُ صَفِيَّةُ رِجْلَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ حَتَّى تَرْكَبَ
