6363. Narrated Anas bin Mālik : رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ The Prophet ﷺ said to Abū Ṭalḥa, "Choose one of your boys to serve me." So Abū Ṭalḥa took me (to serve the Prophet) by giving me a ride behind him (on his camel). So I used to serve Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Whenever he stayed somewhere, I used to hear him saying very often, "O Allāh! I seek refuge with You (Allāh) from worries and grief, from weakness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other men." I kept on serving him till he returned from (the battle of) Khaibar. He then brought Ṣafīyya, the daughter of Huyai whom he had got (from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion with a cloak or a garment for her. He then let her ride behind him. When we reached a place called Aṣ-Ṣaḥbā', he prepared (a special meal called) Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and that was the marriage banquet given on the consummation of his marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of Uhud appeared, whereupon he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it." When he approached Al-Madīna, he said, "O Allāh! I make the land between its (i.e., Al-Madīna's) two mountains a sanctuary, as the Prophet Ibrāhīm (Abraham) made Makkah a sanctuary. O Allāh! Bless them (the people of Al-Madīna) in their Mudd and their Ṣā' (units of measuring)."
