5159. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ stayed for three days at a place between Khaibar and Al-Madina, and there he consummated his marriage with Ṣafiyya bint Huyai. I invited the Muslims to a banquet which included neither meat nor bread. The Prophet ﷺ ordered for the leather dining sheets to be spread, and then dates, dried yoghurt and butter were provided over it, and that was the Walima (a wedding banquet) of the Prophet ﷺ. The Muslims asked whether Ṣafiyya would be considered as his wife or as a slave girl of what his right hands possessed. Then they said, "If the Prophet ﷺ screens her from the people, then she is the Prophet's wife but if he does not screen her, then she is a slave girl." So when the Prophet ﷺ proceeded, he made a place for her (on the camel) behind him and screened her from people.

5159 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: «أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ خَيْبَرَ وَالمَدِينَةِ ثَلاَثًا، يُبْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ، فَدَعَوْتُ المُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى وَلِيمَتِهِ، فَمَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلاَ لَحْمٍ، أَمَرَ بِالأَنْطَاعِ فَأُلْقِيَ فِيهَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَالأَقِطِ وَالسَّمْنِ، فَكَانَتْ وَلِيمَتَهُ» فَقَالَ المُسْلِمُونَ: إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ المُؤْمِنِينَ، أَوْ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ، فَقَالُوا: إِنْ حَجَبَهَا فَهِيَ مِنْ أُمَّهَاتِ المُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْجُبْهَا فَهِيَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ «فَلَمَّا ارْتَحَلَ وَطَّى لَهَا خَلْفَهُ، وَمَدَّ الحِجَابَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ»
