The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Talha, "Find a boy from among your servants to serve me."So Abu Talha set out with me riding behind him, 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 worry and grief, from weakness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being overwhelmed by debt, and from being overpowered by men."I continued to serve him until we returned from Khaybar, and he was bringing back Safiya bint Huyayy, whom he had chosen for himself. I would see him make a covering behind him with a cloak or garment, then seat her behind him. When we reached as-Sahba, he prepared a dish of hays on a leather mat, then sent me to invite Some men, and they came and ate. That was his wedding feast with her.Then he proceeded, and when Uhud came into view, he said, "This is a mountain that loves us and we love it."When he came in sight of Medina, he said, "O Allah, I declare sacred what lies between its two mountains, just as Ibrahim declared Mecca 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 وراءه 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 بالصهباء 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 say, and he mentioned it.Note, there are other hadiths on this subject that can be found in the chapters on the virtues of Makkah and Madinah.
