Jilbab al-Marah al-Muslimah fi al-Kitab wa al-Sunnah - Nasir al-Din al-Albani - (107)

Ṣafwān ibn al-Muʿaṭṭal al-Sulamī—later of the Dhakwān clan—was riding behind the army; he travelled through the night¹ and reached my quarters at dawn. He noticed the silhouette of a sleeping person, came up to me, and, on seeing me, recognised me, for he had seen me before the veil was enjoined. I awoke at his utterance of “Innā lillāh…” when he realised who I was, so I covered—in another narration: I concealed—my face from him with my cloak.”

3- Anas, relating the events of the Battle of Khaybar and how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ chose Ṣafiyyah for himself, said:

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed from Khaybar without spending the night there². When his camel was brought near for him to mount, he placed his leg so that Ṣafiyyah could put her foot on his thigh, but she refused; she set her knee upon his thigh instead. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ screened her, seated her behind him, draped his cloak over her back and face, tied it beneath her leg, rode off with her, and accorded her the rank of his wives.”

4- ʿĀʾishah said:

(1) The phrase min al-dulja (with damma on the d) means setting out to travel at the very beginning of the night. (3) Ibn Saʿd recorded it (8:86–87) through several chains—from Abu Hurayra, Abu Ghatfan b. Tarif al-Mari, Anas b. Malik, and Umm Sinan al-Aslamiyya—and then remarked, “Parts of some reports have become mixed with others.” I add: al-Bukhari and Muslim, among others, also transmitted a similar version from Anas, and its documentation has already been given on p. 94. (2) That is, he had not yet consummated the marriage; the expression ʿarrasa al-rajul is used when a man consummates his marriage on the wedding night. (4) Reported by Ahmad (6:30); Abu Dawud; Ibn al-Jarud, no. 418; and al-Bayhaqi in the Book of Hajj. The chain is sound as corroborative evidence and serves as supporting material for the next hadith; both are cited in Irwaʾ al-Ghalil, nos. 1023–1024.

ابن المعطل السلمي ثم الذكواني من وراء الجيش فأدلج١، فأصبح عند منزلي فرأى سواد إنسان نائم فأتاني فعرفني حين رآني، وكان يراني قبل الحجاب، فاستيقظت باسترجاعه حين عرفني فخمرتُ -وفي رواية: فسترتُ- وجهي عنه بجلبابي"، الحديث. ٣- عن أنس في قصة غزوة خيبر واصطفائه ﷺ صفية لنفسه قال: "فخرج رسول الله ﷺ من خيبر ولم يُعَرِّس بها٢، فلما قرب البعير لرسول الله ليخرج وضع رسول الله ﷺ رجله لصفية لتضع قدمها على فخذه فأبت، ووضعت ركبتها على فخذه وسترها رسول الله ﷺ وحملها وراءه، وجعل رداءه على ظهرها ووجهها ثم شده من تحت رجلها، وتحمل بها وجعلها بمنزلة نسائه". ٤- عن عائشة قالت:

١ من الدلجة بالضم؛ وهو السير من أول الليل. ٣- أخرجه ابن سعد "٨/ ٨٦-٨٧" من طرق: من حديث أبي هريرة، وأبي غطفان بن طريف المري، وأنس بن مالك، وأم سنان الأسلمية؛ قال ابن سعد: "دخل حديث بعضهم في حديث بعض". قلت: وقد أخرجه الشيخان وغيرهما من حديث أنس نحوه، وقد تقدم مع تخريجه "ص٩٤". ٢ أي: لم يدخل بها، يقال: عرس الرجل إذا دخل بامرأته عند بنائها. ٤- أخرجه أحمد "٦/ ٣٠"، وأبو داود، وابن الجارود "رقم ٤١٨"، والبيهقي في "الحج"، وسنده حسن في الشواهد، ومن شواهد الحديث الذي بعده، وكلاهما مخرج في "الإرواء" "١٠٢٣ و١٠٢٤".
