وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ ثَابِثٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنِى بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هَاشِمِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ قَالَ صَارَتْ صَفِيَّةُ لِدَحْيَةَ فِى مَقْسَمِهِ وَجَعَلُوا يَمْدَحُونَهَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - وَيَقُولُونَ مَا رَأَيْنَا فِى السَّبْىِ مِثْلَهَا - قَالَ - فَبَعَثَ إِلَى دِحْيَةَ فَأَعْطَاهُ بِهَا مَا أَرَادَ ثُمَّ دَفَعَهَا إِلَى أُمِّى فَقَالَ « أَصْلِحِيهَا ». قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنْ خَيْبَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا جَعَلَهَا فِى ظَهْرِهِ نَزَلَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ عَلَيْهَا الْقُبَّةَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلُ زَادٍ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِهِ ». قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِىءُ بِفَضْلِ التَّمْرِ وَفَضْلِ السَّوِيقِ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَوَادًا حَيْسًا فَجَعَلُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْحَيْسِ وَيَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ حِيَاضٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِمْ مِنْ مَاءِ السَّمَاءِ - قَالَ - فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ وَلِيمَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَيْهَا - قَالَ - فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْنَا جُدُرَ الْمَدِينَةِ هَشِشْنَا إِلَيْهَا فَرَفَعْنَا مَطِيَّنَا وَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مَطِيَّتَهُ - قَالَ - وَصَفِيَّةُ خَلْفَهُ قَدْ أَرْدَفَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَعَثَرَتْ مَطِيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَصُرِعَ وَصُرِعَتْ قَالَ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَلاَ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَسَتَرَهَا - قَالَ - فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ « لَمْ نُضَرَّ ». قَالَ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَرَجَ جَوَارِى نِسَائِهِ يَتَرَاءَيْنَهَا وَيَشْمَتْنَ بِصَرْعَتِهَا.

Anas said: "Safiyyah fell to the lot of Dihyah and they started praising her before the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). 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 Allah (s.a.w) left Khaibar, and when it was behind him, he halted and put up a tent for her. The next morning the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever has any surplus provisions, let him bring it.' Men started bringing surplus dates and surplus Sawiq 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 Allah (s.a.w) when he married her. Then we set out, and when we saw the walls of Al-Madinah we were excited and made our mounts go faster. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) also made his mount go faster. Safiyyah was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and the mount of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stumbled and he fell, and she fell too. No one among the people looked at him or her until the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) got up and screened her. Then we came to him, and he said: 'We are not hurt.' Then we entered Al-Madinah, and the young ones among his wives came out to have a look at her, and they expressed joy at her fall."
