[3497] 84 - (1365) It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ launched a campaign against Khaibar. "We prayed Al-Ghadāh (Fajr) there when it was still dark, then the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ rode and Abū Ṭalḥah rode, and I was seated behind Abū Ṭalḥah (on his mount). The Prophet ﷺ let his mount run through the narrow streets of Khaibar, and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ. The Izār slipped from the thigh of the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ and I could see the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ. When he entered the town, he said: ‘Allāhu Akbar!! Khaibar is destroyed! Then, when we descend in their courtyard (near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!’[1] He said it three times. The people had come out to their work and they said: ‘Muḥammad!! [by Allāh!]’ - (one of the narrators) ‘Abdul-Azīz said: ‘Some of our companions said: ‘Muḥammad and the army!’ - “We seized Khaibar by force, and the prisoners were gathered together. Dīyah came to him and said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, give me a woman from among the prisoners.’ He said: ‘Go and take a woman.’ He chose Ṣafīyyah bint Ḥuyayy, then a man came to the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ and said: ‘O Prophet of Allāh, you have given Dīyah Ṣafīyyah bint Ḥuyayy, the first lady of Quraizah and An-Naḏīr? She is fit only for you.’ He said: ‘Call him to bring her here.’ So he brought her, and when the Prophet ﷺ saw her, he said: 'Take another woman from among the prisoners.' And he set her free and married her." Thâbit said to him: "O Abû Hamzah, what dowry did he give her?" He said: "Herself; he set her free then married her. Then when he was on the road, Umm Sulaim prepared her for him and gave her to him at night, and the following morning the Prophet ﷺ was a bridegroom, and he said: 'Whoever has anything (of food) let him bring it.' He spread out a cloth and men started bringing cottage cheese, dates and cooking fat. They made Hais, and that was the wedding feast of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ."

84 - (1365) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزَا خَيْبَرَ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّيْنَا عِنْدَهَا صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ بِغَلَسٍ، فَرَكِبَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَكِبَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، وَأَنَا رَدِيفُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، فَأَجْرَى نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي زُقَاقِ خَيْبَرَ، وَإِنَّ رُكْبَتِي لَتَمَسُّ فَخِذَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَانْحَسَرَ الْإِزَارُ عَنْ فَخِذِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنِّي لَأَرَى بَيَاضَ فَخِذِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْقَرْيَةَ، قَالَ: " اللهُ أَكْبَرُ خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ، إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ {فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ} [الصافات: 177] "، قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، قَالَ: وَقَدْ خَرَجَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: مُحَمَّدٌ، وَاللهِ - قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ: وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا: مُحَمَّدٌ، وَالْخَمِيسُ - قَالَ: وَأَصَبْنَاهَا عَنْوَةً، وَجُمِعَ السَّبْيُ، فَجَاءَهُ دِحْيَةُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَعْطِنِي جَارِيَةً مِنَ السَّبْيِ. فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ جَارِيَةً»، فَأَخَذَ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَعْطَيْتَ دِحْيَةَ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ سَيِّدِ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرِ؟ مَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لَكَ، قَالَ: «ادْعُوهُ بِهَا»، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ بِهَا، فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «خُذْ جَارِيَةً مِنَ السَّبْيِ غَيْرَهَا»، قَالَ: وَأَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَابِتٌ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، مَا أَصْدَقَهَا؟ قَالَ: نَفْسَهَا أَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالطَّرِيقِ جَهَّزَتْهَا لَهُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ، فَأَهْدَتْهَا لَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَأَصْبَحَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرُوسًا، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ فَلْيَجِئْ بِهِ»، قَالَ: وَبَسَطَ نِطَعًا، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالْأَقِطِ، وَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالتَّمْرِ، وَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالسَّمْنِ، فَحَاسُوا حَيْسًا، فَكَانَتْ وَلِيمَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
