Volume 7, Book 65, Number 336:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said to Abu Talha, "Seek one of your boys to serve me." Abu Talha mounted me be –
hind him (on his riding animal) and took me (to the Prophet ). So I used to serve Allah's Apostle
whenever he dismounted (to stay somewhere). I used to hear him saying very often, "O Allah! I seek
refuge with You from, having worries sadness, helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, from
being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other persons unjustly." I kept on serving till
we -returned from the battle of Khaibar. The Prophet then brought Safiyya bint Huyai whom he had
won from the war booty. I saw him folding up a gown or a garment for her to sit on behind him (on
his she-camel). When he reached As-Sahba', he prepared Hais and placed it on a dining sheet. Then
he sent me to invite men, who (came and) ate; and that was his and Safiyya's wedding banquet. Then
the Prophet proceeded, and when he saw (noticed) the mountain of Uhud, he said, "This mountain
loves us, and we love it." When we approached Medina, he said, "O Allah! I make the area between
its two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham has made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless their Mudd
and Sa (special kinds of measure)."
