[3501] 88 – (1365) Arias said: "Safiyyah fell to the lot of Dihyah and they started praising her before the Messenger of Allah . They said: 'We have never seen any captive like her.' He sent word to Dibyah and gave him whatever he wanted, then he gave her to my mother, and said: 'Prepare her.' Then the Messenger of Allah left Khaibar, and when it was behind him, he halted and put up a tent for her. The next morning the Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever has any surplus provisions, let him bring it.' Men started bringing surplus dates and surplus SawIq until they made a pile of Ijais. They started eating from that Hais and drinking from a cistern of rainwater that was beside them." Anas said: "And that was the wedding feast of the Al-A hzâb 33:53. Messenger of Allah when he married her. Then we set out, and when we saw the walls of Al- Madinah we were excited and made our mounts go faster. The Messenger of Allah ç also made his mount go faster. Safiyyah was riding behind the Messenger of Allah and the mount of the Messenger of Allah stumbled and he fell, and she fell too. No one among the people looked at him or her until the Messenger of Allah got up and screened her. Then we came to him, and he said: 'We are not hurt.' Then we entered Al-Madinah, and the young ones among his wives came out to have a look at her, and they expressed joy at her fall." Chapter 15.
