The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Talha, "Find me a young servant from among your boys to serve me."So Abu Talha took me out, riding behind him on his mount, and I would serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whenever he stopped. I often heard him say, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from the burden of debt, and from being overpowered by men."I continued to serve him until we returned from Khaybar, and he brought back Safiya bint Huyayy, whom he had taken as his own. I would see him drape a cloak or garment behind him as a screen, then seat her behind him on his mount.When we reached al-Sahba, he prepared a dish of dates, butter, and cottage cheese on a leather mat, then sent me to invite Some men, who came and ate. That was his wedding feast with her.Then he proceeded onward, and when Mount Uhud came into view, he said, "This is a mountain that loves us and we love it."When he came within sight of Madinah, he said, "O Allah, I declare sacred what lies between her two mountains, just as Ibrahim declared Makkah sacred. O Allah, bless them in their mudd and their saa."
قال رسول الله ﷺ لأبي طلحة: التمس غلاما من غلمانكم يخدمني. فخرج بي أبو طلحة يردفني ورائه. فكنت أخدم رسول الله ﷺ كلما نزل، فكنت أسمعه يكثر أن يقول: اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن، والعجز والكسل، والبخل والجبن، وضلع الدين، وغلبة الرجال فلم أزل أخدمه حتى أقبلنا من خيبر، وأقبل بصفية بنت حيي قد حازها، فكنت أراه يحوي وراءه بعباءة أو بكساء، ثم يردفها وراءه، حتى إذا كنا بالصحباء صنع حيسا في نطع، ثم أرسلني فدعوت رجالا فأكلوا، وكان ذلك بناءه بها، ثم أقبل حتى إذا بدا له أحد، قال: هذا جبل يحبنا ونحبه فلما أشرف على المدينة قال: اللهم إني أحرم ما بين جبليها، مثل ما حرم به إبراهيم مكة، اللهم بارك لهم في مدهم وصاعهم.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Foods (5425), and Muslim in the Book of Hajj (1365-462), both through the route of Ismail bin Jafar, from Amr bin Abu Amr, the freed slave of Muttalib bin Abdullah bin Hantab, that he heard Anas bin Malik, and he mentioned it.
