The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Talha, "Find us a boy from among your boys to serve me."So Abu Talha took me out, riding behind him on his mount, and I used to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whenever he stopped to rest. I often heard him say, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by men."I continued serving him until we returned from Khaybar. He brought back with him Safiya bint Huyayy, whom he had taken for himself. I saw him drape a cloak or garment behind him as a screen, then seat her behind him on his mount. When we reached as-Sahba, he prepared a dish of hays on a leather mat, then sent me to invite Some men, who came and ate. That was his wedding feast for her.Then we set off, and when Uhud came into view, he said, "This is a mountain that loves us and we love it."When Madinah came into sight, he said, "O Allah, I declare sacred what lies between its two mountains, just as Ibrahim declared Makkah sacred. O Allah, bless them in their mudd and their saa."
حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد حدثنا إسماعيل بن جعفر عن عمرو بن أبي عمرو مولى المطلب بن عبد الله بن حنطب أنه سمع
قال رسول الله ﷺ لأبي طلحة التمس لنا 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 كساء 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 جبيل 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
