4213. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ stayed for three nights between Khaibar and Al-Madina and was married to Ṣafīyya. I invited the Muslims to his marriage banquet and there was neither meat nor bread in that banquet, but the Prophet ﷺ ordered Bilāl to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yoghurt and butter were served. The Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e., Ṣafīyya) be one of the Mothers of the believers (i.e., one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses?" Some of them said, "If the Prophet ﷺ makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the Mothers of the believers, and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady-slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his camel) and made her observe the veil.

٤٢١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا ﵁ يَقُولُ: «أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ خَيْبَرَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ يُبْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِصَفِيَّةَ، فَدَعَوْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى وَلِيمَتِهِ، وَمَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَا لَحْمٍ، وَمَا كَانَ فِيهَا إِلَّا أَنْ أَمَرَ بِلَالًا بِالْأَنْطَاعِ فَبُسِطَتْ، فَأَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا التَّمْرَ وَالْأَقِطَ وَالسَّمْنَ، فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ: إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ؟ قَالُوا: إِنْ حَجَبَهَا فَهِيَ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْجُبْهَا فَهِيَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ. فَلَمَّا ارْتَحَلَ وَطَّأَ لَهَا خَلْفَهُ، وَمَدَّ الْحِجَابَ».
