Narrated Anas bin Malik: That he and Abu Talha came in the company of the Prophet and Safiya was accompanying the Prophet, who let her ride behind him on his she-camel. During the journey, the she-camel slipped and both the Prophet and (his) wife fell down. Abu Talha (the sub-narrator thinks that Anas said that Abu Talha jumped from his camel quickly) said, "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah sacrifice me for your sake! Did you get hurt?" The Prophet replied,"No, but take care of the lady." Abu Talha covered his face with his garment and proceeded towards her and covered her with his garment, and she got up. He then set right the condition of their she-camel and both of them (i.e. the Prophet and his wife) rode and proceeded till they approached Medina. The Prophet said, "We are returning with repentance and worshipping and praising our Lord." The Prophet kept on saying this statement till he entered Medina.

Hadith Commentary:
This too pertains to the Battle of Khaybar.
In both narrations, the same incident is described with different wording.
It is also agreed upon in both that Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha) was with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam); there is no connection between this incident and the Expedition of Banu Lihyan, which took place in 6 AH, whereas the Islam and entry of Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha) into the Prophet’s household is related to 7 AH.

Hadith Commentary:
1.
Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) covered his face with a cloth so that his gaze would not fall upon Safiyyah (radi Allahu anha).
Subhan Allah! How much modesty and shyness there was among the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum).
But among us, shamelessness is so widespread that in the marketplace, women stare intently at men and invite them to gaze at them.
Al-‘iyadhu billah (we seek refuge with Allah).
2.
In light of this hadith, the Sunnah even now is that upon returning safely from any journey, this supplication should be recited, whether the journey was for Hajj, ‘Umrah, or to meet relatives and loved ones.
In short, upon returning from any kind of journey, reciting the aforementioned supplication is Sunnah.
