Hadith 11464

عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ بَلَغَ صَفِيَّةَ أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ إِنِّي ابْنَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ فَبَكَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ ”مَا شَأْنُكِ“ فَقَالَتْ قَالَتْ لِي حَفْصَةُ إِنِّي ابْنَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّكِ ابْنَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَإِنَّ عَمَّكِ لَنَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّكِ لَتَحْتَ نَبِيٍّ فَفِيمَ تَفْخَرُ عَلَيْكِ“ فَقَالَ ”اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا حَفْصَةُ“
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) heard that Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) had said, "This Safiyyah is the daughter of a Jew." Upon hearing this, she began to weep. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her and found her crying, he said, "What has happened to you?" She replied, "Hafsah has said about me that I am the daughter of a Jew." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are the daughter of a Prophet, your uncle was also a Prophet, and you are the wife of a Prophet. So on what basis does Hafsah take pride over you?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Hafsah! Fear Allah."

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "father" is meant Harun (alayhis salam), by "uncle" is meant Musa (alayhis salam), and by "husband" is meant the Prophet himself (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

The name of Sayyidah Safiyyah's (radi Allahu anha) father was Huyayy ibn Akhtab; he was from Banu Nadir. Banu Nadir are from the lineage of Lawi ibn Ya'qub, and this lineage reaches up to Harun ibn Imran (alayhis salam). In this way, Sayyidah Safiyyah's (radi Allahu anha) father is considered Harun (alayhis salam), and his brother was Musa (alayhis salam), so he is considered her uncle.
