Volume 4, Book 52, Number 318:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We were in the company of the Prophet while returning from ‘Usfan, and Allah’s Apostle was rid –
ing his she-camel keeping Safiya bint Huyay riding behind him. His she-camel slipped and both of
them fell down. Abu Talha jumped from his camel and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! May Allah sacrifice
me for you.” The Prophet said, “Take care of the lady.” So, Abu Talha covered his face with a garment
and went to Safiya and covered her with it, and then he set right the condition of their shecamel so
that both of them rode, and we were encircling Allah’s Apostle like a cover. When we approached
Medina, the Prophet said, “We are returning with repentance and worshipping and praising our
Lord.” He kept on saying this till he entered Medina.
