Sahih al-Bukhari 6185 (Book 78, Hadith 209) #5938
Repentance & Worship on the Journey Home

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) and his wife Safiya fell off their she-camel while travelling to Medina, Abu Talha quickly came to the Prophet's aid and covered Safiya with his garment. When they approached Medina, the Prophet (PBUH) repeated words of repentance and worship.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: That he and Abu Talha were coming in the company of the Prophet (towards Medina), while Safiya (the Prophet's wife) was riding behind him on his she-camel. After they had covered a portion of the way suddenly the foot of the she-camel slipped and both the Prophet ﷺ and the woman (ie, his wife, Safiya) fell down. Abu Talha jumped quickly off his camel and came to the Prophet (saying) "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Let Allah sacrifice me for you! Have you received any injury?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but take care of the woman (my wife)". Abu Talha covered his face with his garment and went towards her and threw his garment over her. Then the woman got up and Abu Talha prepared their she-camel (by tightening its saddle, etc) and both of them (the Prophet ﷺ and Safiya) mounted it. Then all of them proceeded and when they approached near Medina, or saw Medina, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Ayibun, taibun, 'abidun, liRabbina hamidun (We are coming back (to Medina) with repentance, worshiping (our Lord) and celebrating His (our Lord's) praises". The Prophet ﷺ continued repeating these words till he entered the city of Medina.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ صَفِيَّةُ، مُرْدِفَهَا عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانُوا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ عَثَرَتِ النَّاقَةُ، فَصُرِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْمَرْأَةُ، وَأَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ـ قَالَ أَحْسِبُ ـ اقْتَحَمَ عَنْ بَعِيرِهِ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ، هَلْ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَلْقَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَصَدَ قَصْدَهَا، فَأَلْقَى ثَوْبَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَامَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ، فَشَدَّ لَهُمَا عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِمَا فَرَكِبَا، فَسَارُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِظَهْرِ الْمَدِينَةِ ـ أَوْ قَالَ أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ـ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ‏"‏ آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ، عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the journey of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his wife Safiya from Makkah to Medina. On their way, their she-camel slipped causing them both to fall down. Abu Talha quickly came to help them by covering Safiya with his garment before helping them get back on their camel. As they approached Medina, the Prophet ﷺ began repeating words of repentance and worship as a sign of gratitude for being able to return home safely. This hadith teaches us that we should always be grateful for our blessings no matter how small or big they are, as well as constantly repenting for our sins so that we can be closer to Allah SWT in this life and in Jannah in the hereafter. We should also remember that even when faced with difficult situations like falling off a camel during a long journey home, we should remain patient and thankful for all that Allah SWT has given us instead of complaining or feeling sorry for ourselves.
