Narrated Anas:The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed for three nights between Khaibar and Medina and was married to Safiya. I invited the Muslim to his marriage banquet and there waa neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses" Some of them said, "If the Prophet (ﷺ) makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the believers (i.e. one of the Prophet's wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his camel and made her observe the veil)

حدثنا سعيد بن ابي مريم، اخبرنا محمد بن جعفر بن ابي كثير، قال اخبرني حميد، انه سمع انسا رضى الله عنه يقول اقام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بين خيبر والمدينة ثلاث ليال يبنى عليه بصفية، فدعوت المسلمين الى وليمته، وما كان فيها من خبز ولا لحم، وما كان فيها الا ان امر بلالا بالانطاع فبسطت، فالقى عليها التمر والاقط والسمن، فقال المسلمون احدى امهات المومنين، او ما ملكت يمينه قالوا ان حجبها فهى احدى امهات المومنين، وان لم يحجبها فهى مما ملكت يمينه. فلما ارتحل وطا لها خلفه، ومد الحجاب
