While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one of the mothers of the believers sent a
meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the Prophet was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the
dish to fall and break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started collecting
on them the food which had been in the dish and said, “Your mother (my wife) felt jealous.” Then he

it had been broken.

The Prophet stayed for three days at a place between Khaibar and Medina, and there he consum –

dates, dried yogurt and butter were provided over it, and that was the Walima (banquet) of the
Prophet. The Muslims asked whether Safiyya would be considered as his wife or as a slave girl of
what his right hands possessed. Then they said, “If the Prophet screens her from the people, then she
Is the Prophet’s wife but if he does not screen her, then she is a slave girl.” So when the Prophet pro –

Rahman said, “May Allah bless you, your wives and property (I am not in need of that; but kindly
show me the way to the market).” So ‘Abdur-Rahman went to the market and traded there gaining a
profit of some dried yoghurt and butter, and married (an Ansari woman). The Prophet said to him,
“Give a banquet, even if with one sheep.”
