حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ،. حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ـ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِي مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَعْطَانِي مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَنِيَ بِفَاطِمَةَ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ بِنْتِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلاً صَوَّاغًا فِي بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِي فَنَأْتِيَ بِإِذْخِرٍ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَهُ مِنَ الصَّوَّاغِينَ فَنَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ فِي وَلِيمَةِ عُرْسِي، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ لِشَارِفَىَّ مِنَ الأَقْتَابِ وَالْغَرَائِرِ وَالْحِبَالِ، وَشَارِفَاىَ مُنَاخَانِ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ مَا جَمَعْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِشَارِفَىَّ قَدْ أُجِبَّتْ أَسْنِمَتُهَا، وَبُقِرَتْ خَوَاصِرُهُمَا، وَأُخِذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا، فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنَىَّ حِينَ رَأَيْتُ الْمَنْظَرَ، قُلْتُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا قَالُوا فَعَلَهُ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَهْوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ، فِي شَرْبٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، عِنْدَهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَتْ فِي غِنَائِهَا أَلاَ يَا حَمْزَ لِلشُّرُفِ النِّوَاءِ، فَوَثَبَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، وَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّذِي لَقِيتُ فَقَالَ
" مَا لَكَ ". قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ، عَدَا حَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَاقَتَىَّ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا وَهَا هُوَ ذَا فِي بَيْتٍ مَعَهُ شَرْبٌ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرِدَائِهِ، فَارْتَدَى ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، حَتَّى جَاءَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأُذِنَ لَهُ، فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَلُومُ حَمْزَةَ فِيمَا فَعَلَ، فَإِذَا حَمْزَةُ ثَمِلٌ مُحْمَرَّةٌ عَيْنَاهُ، فَنَظَرَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رُكْبَتِهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ إِلاَّ عَبِيدٌ لأَبِي فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ثَمِلٌ، فَنَكَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ الْقَهْقَرَى، فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ.
I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had
given me another she camel from the Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. And when I
intended to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, I made an arrangement with
a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa 'that he should go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass used
by gold-smiths) which I intended to sell to gold-smiths in order to spend its price on the marriage
banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were
kneeling down beside an Ansari's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that
the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of
their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping.
I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e. the people) said, "Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib has done it. He
is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her
song, "O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut of the
camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers." Then I came to the
Prophet, with whom Zaid bin Haritha was present. The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed my state and asked, "What is
the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I have never experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked
my two she-camels, cut off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present in a house
along some drinkers." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin
Haritha and myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to enter, and
he was permitted. The Prophet (ﷺ) started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and
his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his
eves more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet (ﷺ)
understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حِينَ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ مِنْ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا تُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ. قَالَ سَأَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِي. فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، فَقَالَ قَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ لاَ أَتَزَوَّجَ يَوْمِي هَذَا. قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ. فَصَمَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَىَّ شَيْئًا، فَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْجَدَ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَىَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَىَّ حَفْصَةَ فَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عَرَضْتَ إِلاَّ أَنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ ذَكَرَهَا، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا لَقَبِلْتُهَا.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint `Umar lost her husband Khunais bin
Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had fought in the battle of
Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa
saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I
waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.'
Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.' He kept quiet and did
not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with `Uthman . Some days later,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me
and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no
reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except
that I learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ سَبَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَفِيَّةَ، فَأَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا. فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ لأَنَسٍ مَا أَصْدَقَهَا قَالَ أَصْدَقَهَا نَفْسَهَا فَأَعْتَقَهَا.
Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) took Safiya as a captive. He manumitted her and married her."
Thabit asked Anas, "What did he give her as Mahr (i.e. marriage gift)?" Anas replied. "Her Mahr was
herself, for he manumitted her."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَدِمْنَا خَيْبَرَ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْحِصْنَ ذُكِرَ لَهُ جَمَالُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَىِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ، وَقَدْ قُتِلَ زَوْجُهَا وَكَانَتْ عَرُوسًا، فَاصْطَفَاهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِنَفْسِهِ، فَخَرَجَ بِهَا، حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا سَدَّ الصَّهْبَاءِ حَلَّتْ، فَبَنَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثُمَّ صَنَعَ حَيْسًا فِي نِطَعٍ صَغِيرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي
" آذِنْ مَنْ حَوْلَكَ ". فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ وَلِيمَتَهُ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحَوِّي لَهَا وَرَاءَهُ بِعَبَاءَةٍ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ بَعِيرِهِ، فَيَضَعُ رُكْبَتَهُ، وَتَضَعُ صَفِيَّةُ رِجْلَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ حَتَّى تَرْكَبَ.
We arrived at Khaibar, and when Allah helped His Apostle to open the fort, the beauty of Safiya bint
Huyai bin Akhtaq whose husband had been killed while she was a bride, was mentioned to Allah's
Apostle. The Prophet (ﷺ) selected her for himself, and set out with her, and when we reached a place
called Sidd-as-Sahba,' Safiya became clean from her menses then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married her. Hais
(i.e. an 'Arabian dish) was prepared on a small leather mat. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "I invite the
people around you." So that was the marriage banquet of the Prophet (ﷺ) and Safiya. Then we proceeded
towards Medina, and I saw the Prophet, making for her a kind of cushion with his cloak behind him
(on his camel). He then sat beside his camel and put his knee for Safiya to put her foot on, in order to
ride (on the camel).

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ خَيْبَرَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ يُبْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِصَفِيَّةَ، فَدَعَوْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى وَلِيمَتِهِ، وَمَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلاَ لَحْمٍ، وَمَا كَانَ فِيهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ أَمَرَ بِلاَلاً بِالأَنْطَاعِ فَبُسِطَتْ، فَأَلْقَى عَلَيْهَا التَّمْرَ وَالأَقِطَ وَالسَّمْنَ، فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ قَالُوا إِنْ حَجَبَهَا فَهْىَ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْجُبْهَا فَهْىَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ. فَلَمَّا ارْتَحَلَ وَطَّأَ لَهَا خَلْفَهُ، وَمَدَّ الْحِجَابَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed for three rights between Khaibar and Medina and was married to Safiya. I invited
the Muslim to h s marriage banquet and there wa neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the
Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The
Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e.
one of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses" Some of
them said, "If the Prophet (ﷺ) makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the
believers (i.e. one of the Prophet's wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will
be his lady slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his and made her
observe the veil.

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me while there was an effeminate man sitting with me, and I heard him (i.e. the
effeminate man) saying to `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya, "O `Abdullah! See if Allah should make you
conquer Ta'if tomorrow, then take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) as (she is so beautiful and fat
that) she shows four folds of flesh when facing you, and eight when she turns her back." The Prophet (ﷺ)
then said, "These (effeminate men) should never enter upon you (O women!)." Ibn Juraij said, "That
effeminate man was called Hit."

(regarding the Verse):-- "Those of you who die and leave wives behind. They - (their wives) -- shall
wait (as regards their marriage ) for four months and ten days)." (2.234)
The widow, according to this Verse, was to spend this period of waiting with her husband's family, so
Allah revealed: "Those of you who die and leave wives (i.e. widows) should bequeath for their wives,
a year's maintenance and residences without turning them out, but if they leave (their residence), there
is no blame on you for what they do with themselves provided it is honorable.' (i.e. lawful marriage)
(2.240).
So Allah entitled the widow to be bequeathed extra maintenance for seven months and twenty nights,
and that is the completion of one year. If she wished she could stay (in her husband's home) according
to the will, and she could leave it if she wished, as Allah says:
"..without turning them out, but if they leave (the residence), there is no blame on you." So the 'Idda
(i.e. four months and ten days as it) is obligatory for her.
'Ata said: Ibn `Abbas said, "This Verse, i.e. the Statement of Allah: "..without turning them out.."
cancelled the obligation of staying for the waiting period in her dead husband's house, and she can
complete this period wherever she likes." 'Ata's aid: If she wished, she could complete her 'Idda by
staying in her dead husband's residence according to the will or leave it according to Allah's
Statement:--
"There is no blame on you for what they do with themselves." `Ata' added: Later the regulations of
inheritance came and abrogated the order of the dwelling of the widow (in her dead husband's house),
so she could complete the 'Idda wherever she likes. And it was no longer necessary to provide her
with a residence. Ibn `Abbas said, "This Verse abrogated her (i.e. widow's) dwelling in her dead
husband's house and she could complete the 'Idda (i.e. four months and ten days) wherever she liked,
as Allah's Statement says:--"...without turning them out..."

regarding the Divine Verse: "O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their
will, and you should not treat them with harshness that you may take back part of the (Mahr) dower
you have given them." (4.19) (Before this revelation) if a man died, his relatives used to have the
right to inherit his wife, and one of them could marry her if he would, or they would give her in
marriage if they wished, or, if they wished, they would not give her in marriage at all, and they would
be more entitled to dispose her, than her own relatives. So the above Verse was revealed in this
connection.

Regarding the Verse:--"They ask your instruction concerning the women. Say: Allah instructs you
about them and yet whom you desire to marry." (4.127) (has been revealed regarding the case of) a
man who has an orphan girl, and he is her guardian and her heir. The girl shares with him all his
property, even a date-palm (garden), but he dislikes to marry her and dislikes to give her in marriage
to somebody else who would share with him the property she is sharing with him, and for this reason
that guardian prevents that orphan girl from marrying. So, this Verse was revealed: (And Allah's
statement:) "If a woman fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part." (4.128)

" قَدْ قُضِيَ فِيكَ وَفِي امْرَأَتِكَ ". قَالَ فَتَلاَعَنَا، وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَفَارَقَهَا فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً أَنْ يُفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ حَامِلاً، فَأَنْكَرَ حَمْلَهَا وَكَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ أَنْ يَرِثَهَا، وَتَرِثَ مِنْهُ مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهَا.
A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Suppose a man saw another man with
his wife, should he kill him whereupon you might kill him (i.e. the killer) (in Qisas) or what should he
do?" So Allah revealed concerning their case what is mentioned of the order of Mula'ana. Allah's
Apostle said to the man, "The matter between you and your wife has been decided." So they did
Mula'ana in the presence of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I was present there, and then the man divorced his
wife. So it became a tradition to dissolve the marriage of those spouses who were involved in a case of
Mula'ana. The woman was pregnant and the husband denied that he was the cause of her pregnancy,
so the son was (later) ascribed to her. Then it became a tradition that such a son would be the heir of
his mother, and she would inherit of him what Allah prescribed for her.

A banquet of bread and meat was held on the occasion of the marriage of the Prophet (ﷺ) to Zainab bint
Jahsh. I was sent to invite the people (to the banquet), and so the people started coming (in groups);
They would eat and then leave. Another batch would come, eat and leave. So I kept on inviting the
people till I found nobody to invite. Then I said, "O Allah's Prophet! I do not find anybody to invite."
He said, "Carry away the remaining food." Then a batch of three persons stayed in the house chatting.
The Prophet (ﷺ) left and went towards the dwelling place of Aisha and said, "Peace and Allah's Mercy be
on you, O the people of the house!" She replied, "Peace and the mercy of Allah be on you too. How
did you find your wife? May Allah bless you. Then he went to the dwelling places of all his other
wives and said to them the same as he said to Aisha and they said to him the same as Aisha had said to
him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) returned and found a group of three persons still in the house chatting. The
Prophet was a very shy person, so he went out (for the second time) and went towards the dwelling
place of `Aisha. I do not remember whether I informed him that the people have gone away. So he
returned and as soon as he entered the gate, he drew the curtain between me and him, and then the
Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed.

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married Zainab bint Jahsh, he made the people eat meat and bread to their fill
(by giving a Walima banquet). Then he went out to the dwelling places of the mothers of the believers
(his wives), as he used to do in the morning of his marriage. He would greet them and invoke good on
them, and they (too) would return his greeting and invoke good on him. When he returned to his
house, he found two men talking to each other; and when he saw them, he went out of his house again.
When those two men saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): going out of his house, they quickly got up (and departed).
I do not remember whether I informed him of their departure, or he was informed (by somebody else).
So he returned, and when he entered the house, he lowered the curtain between me and him. Then the

A man came to Ibn `Abbas while Abu Huraira was sitting with him and said, "Give me your verdict
regarding a lady who delivered a baby forty days after the death of her husband." Ibn `Abbas said,
"This indicates the end of one of the two prescribed periods." I said "For those who are pregnant, their
prescribed period is until they deliver their burdens." Abu Huraira said, I agree with my cousin (Abu
Salama)." Then Ibn `Abbas sent his slave, Kuraib to Um Salama to ask her (regarding this matter).
She replied. "The husband of Subai'a al Aslamiya was killed while she was pregnant, and she
delivered a baby forty days after his death. Then her hand was asked in marriage and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
married her (to somebody). Abu As-Sanabil was one of those who asked for her hand in marriage".

The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) proceeded from there, he spared her a space behind him (on his shecamel)
and put a screening veil between her and the people.

A woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have come to give you myself in
marriage (without Mahr)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) looked at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his
glance on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she sat
down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If you are not in need of her,
then marry her to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have you got anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by
Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Go to your family and see if you have
something." The man went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, I have not found anything." Allah's
Apostle said, "(Go again) and look for something, even if it is an iron ring." He went again and
returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my
Izar (waist sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I give half of it to her." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "What
will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if she wears it, you will be naked."
So that man sat down for a long while and then got up (to depart). When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him
going, he ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "How much of the Qur'an
do you know?" He said, "I know such Sura and such Sura," counting them. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you
know them by heart?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go, I marry her to you for that much of
the Qur'an which you have."

to." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept silent, and then a man from among the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's
Apostle asked (them) "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand in
marriage he does not deserve to be married, and he intercedes (for someone), his intercession should
not be accepted; And if he speaks, he should not be listened to.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This poor man
is better than so many of the first as filling the earth.'
