Sahih al-Bukhari 6363

Hadith text

Narrated Anas bin Malik:The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boys to serve me." So Abu Talha took me (to serve the Prophet (ﷺ) ) by giving me a ride behind him (on his camel). So I used to serve Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) whenever he stayed somewhere. I used to hear him saying, "O Allah! I seek refuge with you (Allah) from (worries) care and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other men." I kept on serving him till he returned from (the battle of) Khaibar. He then brought Safiya, the daughter of Huyay whom he had got (from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion with a cloak or a garment for her. He then let her ride behind him. When we reached a place called As-Sahba', he prepared (a special meal called) Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and that was the marriage banquet given on the consummation of his marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of Uhud appeared, whereupon he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it." When he approached Medina, he said, "O Allah! I make the land between its (i.e., Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary, as the prophet Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (the people of Medina) in their Mudd and the Sa' (units of measuring)

Anas bin Malik bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ne Abu Talha se kaha, 'Apne ladkon mein se ek ko meri khidmat ke liye chuno.' To Abu Talha mujhe (Nabi ki khidmat ke liye) apne saath apne oont par bithaakar le gaye. Isliye main Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki khidmat karta tha jab bhi wo kahin thehare. Maine unhein kehte suna, 'Aye Allah! Main tujhse (fikr aur) gam se, kamzori aur susti se, kanjoosi aur buzdili se, bhaari qarz aur doosron ke hukmraan hone se panaah maangta hoon.' Main unki khidmat karta raha yahaan tak ke wo Khaibar se wapas aaye. Phir wo Safiya, Huyay ki beti, ko laaye jinhe unhone (maal-e-ganimat mein se) paaya tha. Maine unhein unke liye ek chogha ya kapde se ek takiya banaate dekha. Phir unhone unhein apne peechhe sawaar kiya. Jab hum As-Sahba naami jagah pahunche, unhone (ek khaas khaana) Hais taiyaar kiya, aur mujhse kaha ke logon ko dawat doon jo aaye aur khaana khaaya, aur wo unki shaadi poori hone ka Walima tha. Phir wo aage badhe yahaan tak ke Uhud pahaad nazar aayi, isper unhone kaha, 'Ye pahaad hamse mohabbat karti hai aur hum isse mohabbat karte hain.' Jab wo Madina ke qareeb pahunche, unhone kaha, 'Aye Allah! Main iske (Madina ke) do pahaadon ke beech ki zameen ko ek panaah-gah banaata hoon, jaisa Nabi Ibrahim ne Makkah ko ek panaah-gah banaaya tha. Aye Allah! Unhein (Madina waalon ko) unke Mudd aur Sa (naapne ki ikaaiyon) mein barkat de.'
