Hadith 13786

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ خَيْبَرَ ، وَالْمَدِينَةِ ثَلَاثًا يُبْنَي عَلَيْهِ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ ، فَدَعَوْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى وَلِيمَتِهِ ، فَمَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَا لَحْمٍ ، أَمَرَنَا بِالْأَنْطَاعِ ، فَأُلْقِيَ فِيهَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَالْأَقِطِ وَالسَّمْنِ ، فَكَانَتْ وَلِيمَتَهُ ، فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ : إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ ؟ فَقَالُوا : إِنْ حَجَبَهَا فَهِيَ مِنْ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْجُبْهَا فَهِيَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ ، فَلَمَّا ارْتَحَلَ وَطَّأَ لَهَا خَلْفَهُ ، وَمَدَّ الْحِجَابَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed for three days between Khaybar and Madinah Munawwarah and had seclusion with Hazrat Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her). I invited the Muslims to the wedding feast (walimah) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). There was neither bread nor meat in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to spread a dining cloth, and dates, cheese, and clarified butter were brought and placed on it. This was the walimah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Muslims began to talk among themselves, wondering whether Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) would be among the Mothers of the Believers or among the slave women. Then they themselves said that if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made her observe the veil, she would be among the Mothers of the Believers, and if he did not make her observe the veil, she would be among the slave women. So when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed, he helped her mount the ride from behind and drew a veil between the people and her.
