Musnad Abi Ya'la 7119 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated me behind him
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُجَمِّعٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : رَبِيعٌ ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ ، قَالَتْ : أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى عَجُزِ نَاقَتِهِ لَيْلًا ، قَالَتْ : 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): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated me behind him on his she-camel at night. She related: Drowsiness began to overcome me, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would touch me with his blessed hand and say: "O lady! O daughter of Huyayy!" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: "O Safiyyah! I offer you my excuse for what was done to your people (that is, I explain the reason for it). Indeed they said such and such things about me; they said such and such about me."
