[3501] 88 - (1365) Anas said: “Ṣafīyah fell to the lot of Dihyah and they started praising her before the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. They said: ‘We have never seen any captive like her.’ He sent word to Dihyah and gave him whatever he wanted, then he gave her to my mother, and said: ‘Prepare her.’ Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ left Khaibar, and when it was behind him, he halted and put up a tent for her. The next morning the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever has any surplus provisions, let him bring it.’ Men started bringing surplus dates and surplus Sawīq until they made a pile of Hais. They started eating from that Hais and drinking from a cistern of rainwater that was beside them.” Anas said: “And that was the wedding feast of the
Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he married her. Then we set out, and when we saw the walls of Al-Madīnah we were excited and made our mounts go faster. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ also made his mount go faster. Ṣafīyyah was riding behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and the mount of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stumbled and he fell, and she fell too. No one among the people looked at him or her until the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ got up and screened her. Then we came to him, and he said: 'We are not hurt.' Then we entered Al-Madīnah, and the young ones among his wives came out to have a look at her, and they expressed joy at her fall."
