قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْجُشَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَتْنَا عُلَيْلَةُ بِنْتُ الْكُمَيْتِ ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ أُمِّي أُمَيْنَةَ ، تَقُولُ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أَمَةُ اللهِ بِنْتُ رَزِينَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا رَزِينَةَ مَوْلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - قَالَتْ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبَى صَفِيَّةَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرِ ، يَوْمَ فَتَحَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - عَلَيْهِ ، فَجَاءَ يَقُودُهَا مَسْبِيَّةً ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ النِّسَاءَ ، قَالَتْ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ، فَأَرْسَلَهَا ، فَكَانَ ذِرَاعُهَا - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - فِي يَدِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا ، وَأَمْهَرَهَا رَزِينَةَ .
قُلْتُ : حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ ، عَنْ نِسْوَةٍ مَجْهُولَاتٍ ، وَالَّذِي فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقَهَا ، وَكَذَا تَقَدَّمَ عَنْهَا نَفْسِهَا - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - فِي كِتَابِ النِّكَاحِ .

It is reported from Sayyidah Razinah (may Allah be pleased with her), the freed slave woman of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) captive on the day of the conquest of Banu Qurayzah and Banu al-Nadir, when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, granted him (peace and blessings be upon him) victory. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was bringing her along (with him) as a captive; then, when she saw the other women, she said: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa annaka Rasulullah' (I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) let her go; at that time her arm was in the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) freed her, proposed to her and married her, and gave her Sayyidah Razinah (may Allah be pleased with her) as her dowry.
I (Ibn Hajar) say: This hadith is munkar (denounced), because it is narrated through a chain of majhul (unknown) women, whereas the authentic report is the one narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made her emancipation itself her dowry; and the same was narrated earlier from Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) herself in the Book of Marriage.

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ صَفِيَّةَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - قَالَتِ : انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَكْرَهَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ صَنَعُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَتْ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا : فَمَا قُمْتُ مِنْ مَقْعَدِي ، وَمِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "I came into the noble presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time there was no one among all people more disliked by me than his (peace and blessings be upon him) noble person. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said (explaining the reality of the matter): 'Indeed your people did such and such.'" Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "I had not yet risen from that seat of mine before his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed person had become the most beloved and dearest of all people to me."
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated it in his Musnad (4121), and its chain is sahih (authentic).

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُجَمِّعٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعٍ ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا - قَالَتْ : أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عَجُزِ نَاقَتِهِ ، قَالَتْ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا : فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْعَسُ ، فَيَمَسُّنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ وَيَقُولُ : يَا هَذِهِ ، يَا بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ ، وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : يَا صَفِيَّةُ ، إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكِ مِمَّا صَنَعْتُ بِقَوْمِكِ ، إِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِي كَذَا ، إِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِي كَذَا .

It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated me behind him on the hindquarters of his she-camel. She said: Drowsiness began to overcome me (and I started to doze), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would touch me with his blessed hand (so that I would wake up) and say: "O lady! O daughter of Huyayy!" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: "O Safiyyah, I apologise to you for the measures I took against your people, for they had said such and such (harsh and hostile) things about me; indeed they said such and such against me."
