حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ قَالَ صَارَتْ صَفِيَّةُ لِدِحْيَةَ فِي مَقْسَمِهِ وَجَعَلُوا يَمْدَحُونَهَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَيَقُولُونَ مَا رَأَيْنَا فِي السَّبْيِ مِثْلَهَا قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى دِحْيَةَ فَأَعْطَاهُ بِهَا مَا أَرَادَ ثُمَّ دَفَعَهَا إِلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَ أَصْلِحِيهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا جَعَلَهَا فِي ظَهْرِهِ نَزَلَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ عَلَيْهَا الْقُبَّةَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلُ زَادٍ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِفَضْلِ التَّمْرِ وَفَضْلِ السَّوِيقِ وَبِفَضْلِ السَّمْنِ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَوَادًا حَيْسًا فَجَعَلُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْحَيْسِ وَيَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ حِيَاضٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِمْ مِنْ مَاءِ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ وَلِيمَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهَا وَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْنَا جُدُرَ الْمَدِينَةِ هَشِشْنَا إِلَيْهَا فَرَفَعْنَا مَطِيَّنَا وَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَطِيَّتَهُ قَالَ وَصَفِيَّةُ خَلْفَهُ قَدْ أَرْدَفَهَا قَالَ فَعَثَرَتْ مَطِيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَصُرِعَ وَصُرِعَتْ قَالَ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَتَرَهَا قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ لَمْ تُضَرَّ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَرَجَ جَوَارِي نِسَائِهِ يَتَرَاءَيْنَهَا وَيَشْمَتْنَ بِصَرْعَتِهَا حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِيمَةً مَا فِيهَا خُبْزٌ وَلَا لَحْمٌ حِينَ صَارَتْ صَفِيَّةُ لِدِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ فِي مَقْسَمِهِ فَجَعَلُوا يَمْدَحُونَهَا فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Bahz told us: Sulayman ibn al-Mughirah told us, from Thabit, who said: Anas told us, "Safiyyah fell to Dihyah's share of the captives, and they began to praise her before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him," saying, "We have not seen among the captives anyone like her." He said: So he sent for Dihyah and gave him whatever he wanted for her, then handed her over to my mother and said, "Prepare her." He said: Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, set out from Khaybar, and when he had placed her behind him on his mount, he dismounted and pitched a tent over her. In the morning he, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever has any surplus provisions, let him bring it to us." He said: So one man would come with surplus dates, another with surplus barley meal, another with surplus clarified butter, until they made from that a dark mixture of hays, and they ate from that hays and drank from troughs beside them filled with rainwater. He said: Anas said, "That was the wedding feast of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for her." Then we set out, and when we saw the walls of Medina, we were overjoyed to see them, so we raised the pace of our mounts, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, raised the pace of his mount. He said: Safiyyah was riding behind him, for he had mounted her behind him. Then the Messenger of Allah's mount stumbled, and he was thrown down, and she was thrown down. He said: No one looked at him or at her until the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up and screened her from view. He said: We came to him and he said, "She is not hurt." He said: Then he entered Medina, and the servant girls of his wives came out to look at her and to gloat over her fall. — Hashim ibn al-Qasim told us: Sulayman told us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said, "I certainly saw a wedding feast of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that had neither bread nor meat in it, when Safiyyah fell to Dihyah al-Kalbi's share, and they began to praise her" — and he mentioned something similar in meaning.
