حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقْفَلَهُ مِنْ عُسْفَانَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَقَدْ أَرْدَفَ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ ، فَعَثَرَتْ نَاقَتُهُ فَصُرِعَا جَمِيعًا فَاقْتَحَمَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاءَكَ ، قَالَ : عَلَيْكَ الْمَرْأَةَ فَقَلَبَ ثَوْبًا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَأَتَاهَا فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَصْلَحَ لَهُمَا مَرْكَبَهُمَا فَرَكِبَا ، وَاكْتَنَفْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالَ : آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ " .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: We were in the company of the Prophet while returning from 'Usfan, and Allah's Apostle was riding his she-camel keeping Safiya bint Huyay riding behind him. His she-camel slipped and both of them fell down. Abu Talha jumped from his camel and said, "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah sacrifice me for you." The Prophet said, "Take care of the lady." So, Abu Talha covered his face with a garment and went to Safiya and covered her with it, and then he set right the condition of their shecamel so that both of them rode, and we were encircling Allah's Apostle like a cover. When we approached Medina, the Prophet said, "We are returning with repentance and worshipping and praising our Lord." He kept on saying this till he entered Medina.

Hadith Commentary:
There was an error made by the narrator in this narration.
The correct version is that when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) returned from Khaybar, at that time Lady Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha) was with him.
Because this lady came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) during the Battle of Khaybar itself, which took place in 7 AH.
The Battle of Banu Lihyan occurred in 6 AH.
At that time, Lady Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha) was not present.
Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) covered his face with a cloth so that he would not look upon Lady Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha).
Upon returning, the blessed tongue of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was uttering the pure words: "A'iboon, ta'iboon" ("Returning, repenting").
This is the reason for the relevance to the chapter.
Even now, the Sunnah is that whether it is the journey of Hajj or any other journey, upon returning safely, this supplication should be recited.
It is also established from this hadith that a woman may ride behind her husband on a camel.
And in al-Khayr al-Jari, it is mentioned that she said "from 'Usfan" because the Battle of Khaybar occurred after it, as if the intervening stay between them was not considered significant due to their proximity, meaning the mention of 'Usfan could be because the Battle of Khaybar happened right after it—so close that the narrator did not give importance to the interval and placed both on the same level.
Just as in the hadith of Salamah ibn al-Akwa' (radi Allahu anhu), the prohibition of mut'ah is mentioned in connection with the Battle of Autas, even though it had already been prohibited in Makkah.
But due to the proximity between Autas and Makkah, it was attributed to the former.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This incident did not occur on the return from the Expedition of ‘Usfan, but rather on the return from the Expedition of Khaybar, because the Expedition of ‘Usfan took place in the sixth year of Hijrah, whereas the incident of Khaybar occurred in the seventh year of Hijrah, and it was during this journey that Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha) rode behind the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➋
Some scholars have said that the Expedition of Khaybar took place immediately after the Expedition of ‘Usfan, and the period in between was overlooked because it was a very short duration. Just as in the narration from Salamah ibn al-Akwa‘ (radi Allahu anhu), the prohibition of temporary marriage (mut‘ah) is mentioned in relation to the Expedition of Awtas, even though the prohibition of mut‘ah actually occurred at the Conquest of Makkah. So, just as the prohibition of mut‘ah was attributed to the Expedition of Awtas due to its proximity to the Conquest of Makkah, similarly, the Expedition of ‘Usfan was adjacent to the Expedition of Khaybar, and on this basis, the aforementioned incident was attributed to the Expedition of ‘Usfan.
And Allah knows best.
