Clarifying Safiyyah’s identity to prevent suspicion

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."

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».
