وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَيْنَاكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا
And Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, "We have sacrificed our fathers and mothers for you."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَفِيَّةُ مُرْدِفُهَا عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانُوا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ عَثَرَتِ النَّاقَةُ ، فَصُرِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمَرْأَةُ ، وَأَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ قَالَ : أَحْسِبُ اقْتَحَمَ عَنْ بَعِيرِهِ ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ ، هَلْ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ " فَأَلْقَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَصَدَ قَصْدَهَا ، فَأَلْقَى ثَوْبَهُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَامَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ، فَشَدَّ لَهُمَا عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِمَا ، فَرَكِبَا فَسَارُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِظَهْرِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، أَوْ قَالَ أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ " ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: That he and Abu Talha were coming in the company of the Prophet towards Medina), while Safiya (the Prophet's wife) was riding behind him on his she-camel. After they had covered a portion of the way suddenly the foot of the she-camel slipped and both the Prophet and the woman (i.e., his wife, Safiya) fell down. Abu Talha jumped quickly off his camel and came to the Prophet (saying.) "O Allah's Apostle! Let Allah sacrifice me for you! Have you received any injury?" The Prophet said, "No, but take care of the woman (my wife)." Abu Talha covered his face with his garment and went towards her and threw his garment over her. Then the woman got up and Abu Talha prepared their she camel (by tightening its saddle, etc.) and both of them (the Prophet and Safiya) mounted it. Then all of them proceeded and when they approached near Medina, or saw Medina, the Prophet said, "Ayibun,' abidun, taibun, liRabbina hamidun (We are coming back (to Medina) with repentance, worshipping (our Lord) and celebrating His (our Lord's) praises". The Prophet continued repeating these words till he entered the city of Medina.

Hadith Commentary:
Abu Talhah radi Allahu anhu, upon seeing you in that state, out of respect said the words: "May Allah make me a ransom for you" (ja‘alani Allahu fidak).
You did not disapprove of this.
From this, the purpose of the chapter is established.
Upon returning safely to Madinah Munawwarah, you used the words: "A'iboon, ta'iboon," etc.
Even now, upon returning safely from a journey to one's homeland, reciting these words is Sunnah.
Especially, when pilgrims (hujjaj) reach their homeland, they should enter their city or village reciting this supplication.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In this hadith, it is explicitly stated that Abu Talhah radi Allahu anhu said to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam:
"May Allah make me a ransom for you!" If saying such a thing were not permissible, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have prohibited him from doing so.
According to our inclination, if someone says this to a person of greater knowledge and virtue than himself as a means of honoring him, it is hoped that Allah will reward him for it, because this is among the reverence and respect that the Shariah has commanded us to observe.
(2)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has mentioned a hadith narrated from Zubair radi Allahu anhu that he went to visit the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during his illness and said:
"O Messenger of Allah! How are you? May Allah make me a ransom for you!" The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied:
"You have not yet abandoned your Bedouin ways."
(Shu'ab al-Iman lil-Bayhaqi: 6/459, no. 8892)
However, this hadith is weak and cannot be presented in opposition to authentic narrations.
Even if it were authentic, its meaning would be that such words should not be said to a sick person; rather, one should show affection and gentleness and make supplication for his recovery.

Hadith Commentary:
In the Battle of Khaybar, Anas radi Allahu anhu participated as a servant so that he could serve the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Apparently, from the hadith it seems that after the camel slipped, all the services were performed by Anas radi Allahu anhu, but this is not the case, because at that time he was only ten years old and was a young child. Rather, all these services were actually performed by his mother Umm Sulaym radi Allahu anha’s esteemed husband, Abu Talhah radi Allahu anhu, as clarified in another hadith.
