5425. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to Abū Ṭalḥa, "Seek one of your boys to serve me." Abū Ṭalḥa mounted me behind him (on his riding animal) and took me (to the Prophet ﷺ). So I used to serve Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wherever he ﷺ stayed. I used to hear him saying very often, "O Allāh! I seek refuge with you from, having worries, sadness, helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, from being heavily in debt and
from being overpowered by other persons unjustly.” I kept on serving till we returned from the battle of Khaibar. The Prophet ﷺ then brought Ṣafiyya bint Ḥuayā whom he had won from the war booty. I saw him folding up a gown or a garment for her to sit on behind him (on his she-camel). When he reached Aṣ-Ṣahbā, he prepared Hais and placed it on a dining sheet. Then he sent me to invite men, who (came and) ate; and that was his and Ṣafiyya’s wedding banquet. Then the Prophet ﷺ proceeded, and when he saw the mountain of Uḥud, he said, “This mountain loves us, and we love it.” When we approached Al-Madīna, he said, “O Allāh! I make the area between its two mountains a sanctuary as Ibrahim (Abraham) has made Makkah a sanctuary. O Allāh! Bless their Mudd and Ṣā’ (special kinds of measure).”

5425 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى المُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ: «التَمِسْ غُلاَمًا مِنْ غِلْمَانِكُمْ يَخْدُمُنِي» فَخَرَجَ بِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يُرْدِفُنِي وَرَاءَهُ، فَكُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّمَا نَزَلَ، فَكُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهُ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الهَمِّ وَالحَزَنِ، وَالعَجْزِ وَالكَسَلِ، وَالبُخْلِ وَالجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ» فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَخْدُمُهُ حَتَّى أَقْبَلْنَا مِنْ خَيْبَرَ، وَأَقْبَلَ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ قَدْ حَازَهَا، فَكُنْتُ أَرَاهُ يُحَوِّي لَهَا وَرَاءَهُ بِعَبَاءَةٍ أَوْ بِكِسَاءٍ، ثُمَّ يُرْدِفُهَا وَرَاءَهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالصَّهْبَاءِ صَنَعَ حَيْسًا فِي نِطَعٍ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَنِي فَدَعَوْتُ رِجَالًا فَأَكَلُوا، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ بِنَاءَهُ بِهَا " ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَدَا لَهُ أُحُدٌ، قَالَ: «هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ» فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفَ عَلَى المَدِينَةِ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْهَا، مِثْلَ مَا حَرَّمَ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَكَّةَ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي مُدِّهِمْ وَصَاعِهِمْ»
