6. Retiring to a Mosque
٦۔ كِتَابُ الِاعْتِكَافِ
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). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2470)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ فَقَامَ مَعِي يَقْلِبُنِي وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَمَرَّ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْرَعَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنَّ يِقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَرًّا أَوْ قَالَ شَيْئًا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرْسَلَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to seclude himself (in worship) and one night Safiyyah came to him. When she returned, he walked with her at night and a man from the Ansar saw him and called him. He said, "Come here, this is Safiyyah and indeed the Shaytan runs through a person like the flowing of blood."
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَتْهُ صَفِيَّةُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَتْ مَشَى مَعَهَا لَيْلًا فَأَبْصَرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ «تَعَالَهْ إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ» 3345 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حِبَّانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ
