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 –

“I will divide and share my property with you and will give one of my two wives to you.” ‘Abdur-
Rahman said, “May Allah bless you, your wives and property (I am not in need of that; but kindly

“Give a banquet, even if with one sheep.”

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three days between Khaibar and Medina, and there he consummated his
marriage to Safiyya bint Huyai. I invited the Muslims to the wedding banquet in which neither meat
nor bread was offered. He ordered for leather dining-sheets to be spread, and dates, dried yoghurt
and butter were laid on it, and that was the Prophet’s wedding banquet. The Muslims wondered, “Is
she (Saffiyya) considered as his wife or his slave girl?” Then they said, “If he orders her to veil herself,
she will be one of the mothers of the Believers; but if he does not order her to veil herself, she will be
a slave girl. So when the Prophet proceeded from there, he spared her a space behind him (on his
she-camel) and put a screening veil between her and the people.
