Hadith 12240

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ وَقَعَتْ فِي سَهْمِ دِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ وَقَعَتْ فِي سَهْمِ دِحْيَةَ جَارِيَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ ، فَاشْتَرَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَبْعَةِ أَرْؤُسٍ ، فَجَعَلَهَا عِنْدَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ حَتَّى تَهَيَّأَ وَتَعْتَدَّ فِيمَا يَعْلَمُ حَمَّادٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ : وَاللَّهِ مَا نَدْرِي أَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَوْ تَسَرَّاهَا ؟ فَلَمَّا حَمَلَهَا سَتَرَهَا وَأَرْدَفَهَا خَلْفَهُ ، فَعَرَفَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَهَا ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ المدينة أَوْضَعَ النَّاسُ ، وَأَوْضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَذَلِكَ كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ ، فَعَثَرَتْ النَّاقَةُ ، فَخَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَرَّتْ مَعَهُ ، وَأَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرْنَ ، فَقُلْنَ : أَبْعَدَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودِيَّةَ ، وَفَعَلَ بِهَا ، وَفَعَلَ ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَتَرَهَا وَأَرْدَفَهَا خَلْفَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) came into the share of Hazrat Dihyah Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him). Someone said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! A very beautiful slave girl has come into the share of Dihyah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought her in exchange for seven persons and, after purchasing her, sent her to Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) so that she could adorn and prepare her as a bride. During this time, people began to wonder whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would marry her or keep her as a slave girl. But when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made her ride on a mount, placed a veil, and seated her behind himself, people understood that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had married her. When they neared Madinah Munawwarah, people, according to their custom, began to jump down from their mounts. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also began to dismount in the same way, but the she-camel slipped and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell to the ground, and Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) also fell. The other noble wives were watching and said, "May Allah distance this Jewess and do such and such to her." Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, placed a veil over her, and then seated her behind himself.
