Hadith 4005
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ (زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا) قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ، فَقَامَ مَعِيَ يَقْلِبُنِي وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَمَرَّ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْرَعَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا، إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ))، فَقَالَا: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَقَالَ: ((إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَرًّا، أَوْ قَالَ: شَيْئًا))
It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf. I came to meet him at night, spoke with him, and then when I got up to return, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up with me to escort me back. Her residence was in that place which later became the house of Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). Meanwhile, two Ansari men passed by. When they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they hurried by, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Wait (and walk as you were walking before), this woman is my wife Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her)." They said: "Glory be to Allah! (How astonishing) O Messenger of Allah! (What need is there for this clarification?)" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Satan circulates in the human body like blood, so I feared that he might cast some evil thought into your hearts."
