Hadith #11
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَتِيقٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا دَخَلَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فُسْطَاطَهُ حَضَرَ نَاسٌ وَحَضَرْتُ مَعَهُمْ لِيَكُونَ فِيهَا قَسْمٌ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ قُومُوا عَنْ أُمِّكُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ الْعَشِيِّ حَضَرْنَا فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْنَا فِي طَرَفِ رِدَائِهِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ مُدٍّ وَنِصْفٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَجْوَةٍ فَقَالَ كُلُوا مِنْ وَلِيمَةِ أُمِّكُمْ

English Translation
Rawh narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, Ziyad ibn Isma'il informed me, from Sulayman ibn 'Atiq, from Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنهما), who said: "When Safiyyah bint Huyayy entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, her tent was pitched for her. The people rushed to her tent. I was among those who entered. She was covered and veiled. The people said: 'Is she one of the Mothers of the Believers, or is she what his right hand possesses (a concubine)?' Some of them said: 'If he veils her, she is one of the Mothers of the Believers. And if he does not veil her, she is what his right hand possesses.' When he wanted to depart, he made a place for her behind him and placed a screen between her and the people." So they knew she was one of the Mothers of the Believers.
