When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was observing I'tikaf (in the mosque), I would come to him to visit him. I had a talk with him and then stood up. I then returned and he (the Prophet) also stood up to accompany me (to my house). Her dwelling place was in the house of Usamah b. Zaid. Two men from the Ansar (helpers) passed (by him at the moment). When they saw the Prophet ﷺ, they walked quickly. The Prophet ﷺ said: Be at ease, she is Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy. They said: Be glory to Allah, Messenger of Allah! He said: Satan runs in man like blood. I feared he might inspire something in your mind, or he said: evil (the narrator doubted).

Clarifying Safiyyah’s identity to prevent suspicion

bukhari:2035Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī > ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn > Ṣafīyah

She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to visit him while he was in itikaf in the masjid during the last ten days of Ramadan. She spoke with him for a while, then got up to return, so the Prophet ﷺ got up with her to escort her. When she reached the door of the masjid near the door of Umm Salamah, two men from the Ansar passed by and greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to them: "Slow down. It is only Safiyyah bt. Huyayy." They said, “Subhan Allah, O Messenger of Allah,” and that weighed heavily upon them. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed, Satan reaches within the human being as far as the blood reaches, and I feared that he might cast something into your hearts."

البخاري:٢٠٣٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ؓ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَزُورُهُ فِي اعْتِكَافِهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَتَحَدَّثَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ قَامَتْ تَنْقَلِبُ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَهَا يَقْلِبُهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتْ باب الْمَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ باب أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، مَرَّ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَسَلَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا، إِنَّمَا هِيَ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىٍّ»، فَقَالاَ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبْلُغُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَبْلَغَ الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا».

bukhari:3101Saʿīd b. ʿUfayr > al-Layth > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Khālid > Ibn Shihāb > ʿAlī b. Ḥusayn

(the wife of the Prophet) That she came to visit Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Iʿtikaf (i.e. seclusion in the Mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan). When she got up to return, Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up with her and accompanied her, and when he reached near the gate of the Mosque close to the door (of the house) of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet, two Ansari men passed by them and greeted Allah's Apostle and then went away. Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed them saying, "Don't hurry! (She is my wife)," They said, "Glorified be Allah! O Messenger of Allah ﷺ (You are far away from any suspicion)," and his saying was hard on them. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Satan circulates in the mind of a person as blood does (in his body). I was afraid that Satan might put some (evil) thoughts in your minds."

Satan flows through a person like blood

bukhari:3281Maḥmūd b. Ghaylān > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > al-Zuhrī > ʿAlī b. Ḥusayn > Ṣafīyah bt. Ḥuyayy

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in tomas, so I came to visit him at night and spoke with him. Then I stood up and turned to leave, so he stood with me to escort me back. Her dwelling was in the house of Usamah b. Zayd. Two men from the Ansar passed by, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ, they hurried away. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Take it easy; she is Safiyyah bt. Huyayy." They said, "Glory be to Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Indeed, Satan flows through the human being as blood flows, and I feared that he might cast some evil into your hearts—or he said, something."

The wife of the Prophet ﷺ that she went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Iʿtikaf (staying in the mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while) at night and then she got up to return home. The Prophet ﷺ got up to accompany her, and when they reached the gate of the mosque opposite the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet, two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they quickly went ahead. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "Do not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of Huyai." They said, "Subhan Allah! O Messenger of Allah ﷺ (how dare we suspect you)." That was a great thing for both of them. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Satan runs in the body of Adam's son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts."

Walk calmy, she is Safiyya daughter of Huyyay... Both of them said: Messenger, hallowed be Allah, (we cannot conceive of ab., ug doubtful even in the remotest corners of our minds), whereupon he said: Satan circulates in the body of man like the circulation of blood and I was afraid lest it should instill any evil in your heart or anything.

" She went to Allah's Apostle ﷺ to visit him as he was observing I'tikaf in the mosque during Ramadan. She talked with him for some time and then stood up to go back and Allikh's Apostle ﷺ stood up in order to bid her good-bye." The rest of the hadith is the same except with the variation of the words that Allah's Apostle ﷺ said:" Satan penetrates in man like the penetration of blood (in every part of body)."

ابن حبّان:٣٦٧١أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ لَأَنْقَلِبَ فَقَامَ مَعِي يَقْلِبُنِي وَكَانَ مَنْزِلُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَرَأَنَا رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَنَّعَا رُءُوسَهُمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبُكُمَا شَيْئًا» أَوْ قَالَ «شَرًّا»

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا وَجَّهَ صَفِيَّةَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ إِلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، لَا أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ لَرَدِّهَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ

“Take it easy, she is Safiyyah bint Huyai.” They said: “Glorious is Allah, O Messenger of Allah!” And they were very upset by that (i.e., that he thought they may have some doubts). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood, and I was afraid that he might cast some doubt into your hearts.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1779)

While Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Iʿtikaf, I called on him at night and having had a talk with him, I got up to depart. He got up also to accompany me to my dwelling place, which was then in the house of Usama bin Zaid. Two Ansari men passed by, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ they hastened away. The Prophet said (to them). "Don't hurry! It is Safiya, the daughter of Huyay (i.e. my wife)." They said, "Glorified be Allah! O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (How dare we suspect you?)" He said, "Satan circulates in the human mind as blood circulates in it, and I was afraid that Satan might throw an evil thought (or something) into your hearts." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3281)

[AI] That Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, informed him that she came to visit him while he was in seclusion in the mosque during the last ten nights of Ramadan. She spoke to him for a while, then she stood up and the Prophet ﷺ stood up with her, always turning with her until they came close to the gate of the mosque near Umm Salamah's door, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. Two men from the Ansar passed by and greeted the Prophet ﷺ, then they went ahead. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "By your faith, who is this? Safiyyah bint Huyayy." They said, "Glory be to Allah, O Messenger of Allah, and great is what the Messenger of Allah said about them." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Satan reaches the human being like the flow of blood, and I feared that something might be cast into your hearts."
