It was narrated that Anas said: "I was riding behind Abu Talhah on the Day of Khaibar, and my foot was touching the foot of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). We came to them (the people of Khaibar) when the sun had risen, and they had brought out their livestock and their axes, large baskets and hatchets. They said: 'Muhammad and the army!' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Khaibar is destroyed! When we descend in their courtyard (near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!' Allah, [the Mighty and Sublime], defeated them. There fell to the lot of Dihyah a beautiful slave woman, and. the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) bought her for seven slaves, then he gave her to Umm Sulaim to prepare her and adorn her for him" - he (the narrator) said: "I think he said: 'And so that she could observe her 'Iddah in her house."' "That was Safiyyah bint Huyayy. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) made her wedding feast dates, cottage cheese, and cooking fat. Shallow pits were dug in the ground and leather mats were placed in them, and cottage cheese and cooking fat were brought and the people ate their fill. The people said: 'We do not know if he has married her or taken her as a concubine.' They said: 'If he veils her then she is his wife, and if he does not veil her then she is a concubine.' When he wanted to ride, he veiled her, and she sat on the back of the camel, so they knew that he had married her. When they drew near Al-Madinah, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sped up and we sped up too . The she-camel Al-Adba' stumbled and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) fell, and she (Safiyyah) fell too, then he got up and screend her. The women were looking on and they said: 'May Allah keep the Jewess away from us!"' I (the narrator) said: "O Abu Hamzah, did the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) fall?" He said: "Yes, by Allah, he fell." Anas said: "And I attended the Walimah (wedding feast) of Zainab. The people ate their fill of bread and meat, and he used to send me to invite the people. When he had finished (eating), he got up and I followed him. Two men stayed behind, talking, and they did not leave. He went around to his wives and greeted each one of them, saying: 'Peace be upon you, how are you, O members of the household?' And they would say: 'We are fine, O Messenger of Allah. How did you find your wife?' And he said: 'Fine.' When he had finished, he went back and I went back with him. When he reached the door, those two men were still there, talking. When they saw that he had come back, they got up and left. By Allah, I do not know whether I told him or whether it was revealed to him that they had left. So he went back, and I went back with him, and when he put his foot on the threshold of the door he drew the curtain between myself and himself, and Allah [the Most High] revealed this verse: "O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses, unless permission is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meal, disperse without sitting for a talk. Verily, such (behavior) annoys the Prophet, and he is shy of (asking) you (to go); but Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen, that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. And it is not (right) for you that you should annoy Allah's Messenger, nor that you should ever marry his wives after him (his death). Verily, with Allah that shall be an enormit."
