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)   

ابن حبّان:٤٤٩٧أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْبَرْقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مُسَافِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ

أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ تَنْطَلِقُ فَقَامَ مَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْلِبُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ بَابِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَلَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ بُعْدًا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِمَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبْلُغُ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَبْلَغَ الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا»

Safiya, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ told me that she went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ to visit him in the mosque while he was in Iʿtikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. She had a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The Prophet ﷺ accompanied her. When they reached the gate of the mosque, opposite the door of Um-Salama, two Ansari men were passing by and they greeted Allah's Apostle . He told them: Do not run away! And said, "She is (my wife) Safiya bint Huyai." Both of them said, "Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any evil) O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" And they felt it. The Prophet said (to them), "Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it, (everywhere in one's body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds."

(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."

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."

[Machine] 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."
