Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَقَامَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَىِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ بِطَرِيقِ خَيْبَرَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حِينَ عَرَّسَ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتْ فِيمَنْ ضُرِبَ عَلَيْهَا الْحِجَابُ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Nasr reported to us; he said: Ayyub ibn Sulayman narrated to us; he said: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Uways narrated to me, from Sulayman ibn Bilal, from Yahya, from Humayd, who heard Anas say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stayed with Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab for three days on the road from Khaybar when he began married life with her. She was then among those for whom the veil was prescribed.

Translation notes
  • The report gives a three-day stay with Safiyyah on the road from Khaybar and says she was subsequently included among those subject to the veil.
