حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْخَلَ النِّسَاءَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ أُطَمًا مِنْ آطَامِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ، وَكَانَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَجُلًا جَوَادًا، فَأَدْخَلَهُ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ، وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ فَجَاءَ يَهُودِيٌّ، فَقَعَدَ عَلَى بَابِ الْأُطُمِ، فَقَالَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ: انْزِلْ حَسَّانُ إِلَى هَذَا الْعِلْجِ فَاقْتُلْهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ لِأَجْعَلَ نَفْسِي خَطَرًا لِهَذَا الْعِلْجِ، فَائْتَزَرْتُ بِكِسَاءٍ وَأَخَذْتُ فِهْرًا، فَنَزَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَطَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ
It is narrated that on the day of the Battle of al-Ahzab, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed the women inside one of the fortresses of Madinah. Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was a generous man, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) placed him inside along with the women as well and shut the door. Then a Jew came and sat at the door of the fortress. Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Hassan! Go down to this disbeliever and kill him." He said: "I will not put myself in danger against this disbeliever." So I wrapped a cloth around myself, took a stone, went down to him and cut off his head.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، لَا تُغَطِّي رَأْسَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَا مِنْ عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ: حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَخُوهَا، وَجَعْفَرٌ، وَعَلِيٌّ، ابْنَا أَبِي طَالِبٍ ابْنَا أَخِيهَا، وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ابْنُهَا، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ابْنُ ابْنَةِ أُخْتِهَا أُمُّهُ: أَرْوَى بِنْتُ كَرِيزٍ، وَأُمُّهَا الْبَيْضَاءُ أُمُّ حَكِيمٍ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَسَدِ، وَأَبُو سَبْرَةَ بْنُ أَبَى رُهْمٍ ابْنَا أُخْتِهَا بَرَّةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَأُمُّ طليبِ بْنِ نُمَيْرِ بْنِ وَهْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ قُصَيٍّ: أَرْوَى بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَأُمُّ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبِي أَحْمَدَ الْأَعْمَى الشَّاعِرِ وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ بْنُ جَحْشِ بْنِ رِئَابِ بْنِ يَعْمُرَ بْنِ حُبَيْرَةَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ غَنْمِ بْنِ دُودانَ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ: أُمَيْمَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَتُوُفِّيَتْ صَفِيَّةُ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ "
Al-Zubayr bin Bakkar said: Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her) did not cover her head before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor before ten of the earliest Muhajirun: her brother Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib; her nephews Ja'far and Ali, the sons of Abu Talib; her son al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam; and Uthman bin Affan, who was the son of her sister's daughter (Uthman's mother was Arwa bint Kurayz, and Arwa's mother was al-Bayda' Umm Hakim bint Abd al-Muttalib); and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Asad and Abu Sabrah bin Abi Ruhm, who were the sons of her sister Barrah bint Abd al-Muttalib; and Tulayb bin Numayr bin Wahb bin Abd Qusayy, whose mother was Arwa bint Abd al-Muttalib; and the mother of Abdullah and of the poet Abu Ahmad al-A'ma (whose name was Abd bin Jahsh bin Ri'ab bin Ya'mur bin Hubayrah bin Murrah bin Ghanm bin Dudan bin Asad bin Khuzaymah), namely Umaymah bint Abd al-Muttalib. And Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away during the caliphate of Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، تَرْثِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
[البحر الخفيف]
لَهْفَ نَفْسِي وَبِتُّ كالمَسْلُوبِ ... أَرِقَ اللَّيْلِ فِعْلَةَ الْمَحْرُوبِ
مِنْ هُمُومٍ وَحَسْرَةٍ أَرْدَفَتْنِي ... لَيْتَ أَنِّي سُقِيتُهَا بِشَعُوبِ
حِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ الرَّسُولَ قَدَ امْسَى ... وَافَقَتْهُ مَنِيَّةُ الْمَكْتُوبِ
حِينَ جِئْنَا لَبَيْتِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ... فَأَشابَ الْقَذَالَ مِنِّي مَشِيبِي
حِينَ رَأَيْنَا بُيُوتَهُ مُوحِشاتٍ ... لَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ بَعْدُ عَيْشُ غَرِيبِ
فَعَلَانِي لِذَاكَ حَزْنٌ طَوِيلٌ خَالَطَ الْقَلْبَ فَهْوَ كالمَرْغُوبِ وَقَالَتْ أَيْضًا:

لَعَمْرِيَ مَا أَبْكِي النَّبِيَّ لِمَوْتِهِ ... وَلَكِنْ لِهَرْجٍ كَانَ بَعْدَكَ آتِيَا
كَأَنَّ عَلَى قَلْبِي لِفَقْدِ مُحَمَّدٍ ... وَمِنْ حُبِّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَاكَ الْمَكَاوِيَا
أَفاطِمُ صَلَّى اللهُ رَبُّ مُحَمَّدٍ ... عَلَى جَدَثٍ أَمْسَى بِيَثْرِبَ ثَاوِيَا
أَرَى حَسَنًا أَيْتَمْتَهُ وَتَرَكْتَهُ ... يَبْكِي وَيَدْعُو جَدَّهُ الْيَوْمَ نَائِيَا
فِدًى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ أُمِّي وَخَالَتِي ... وَعَمِّي وَنَفْسِي قَصْرَهُ وَعِيالِيَا
صَبَرْتَ وَبَلَّغْتَ الرِّسَالَةَ صَادِقًا ... وَمِتَّ صَلِيبَ الدِّينِ أَبْلَجَ صَافِيَا
فَلَوْ أَنَّ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ أَبْقاكَ بَيْنَنَا ... سَعِدْنا وَلَكِنْ أَمْرُهُ كَانَ مَاضِيَا
عَلَيْكَ مِنَ اللهِ السَّلَامُ تَحِيَّةً ... وَأُدْخِلْتَ جَنَّاتٍ مِنَ الْعَدْنِ رَاضِيَا "

Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her) composed this elegy on the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
"Alas, woe is me! I stayed awake all night like one who has been robbed, like one who has been stripped of everything. Because of the griefs and sorrows that have mounted upon me, would that I had been made to drink the poisoned cup of death instead. When they said that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed into the evening and his appointed death had come upon him. When we came to the house of the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the hair at the back of my head turned white from the intensity of grief. When we saw his (peace and blessings be upon him) houses desolate, with not even a stranger's dwelling left in them. Then a long grief came over me that mingled with my heart, as if it had become my very desire." And she also said:
"Behold! O Messenger of Allah, you were our hope; you were kind to us and were never harsh. Our Prophet was kind and merciful to us; let whoever is weeping today weep for you. By my life, I do not weep for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because of his death, but because of the turmoil that is to come after you. It is as if, through the loss of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and through love of him, there are brands burned upon my heart. O Fatimah! May the Lord of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) send down mercy upon the grave that has now become an abode in Madinah. I see Hasan, whom you have left an orphan; he weeps and today calls out for his grandfather, who has gone far away. For the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) may my mother, my maternal aunt, my paternal uncle, my own self, all that I have and my family be ransomed. You were patient and conveyed the message truthfully, and you passed away firm in religion, radiant and pure. Had the Lord of the Throne kept you among us, we would have been fortunate, but His decree was bound to be carried out. Upon you be peace and greeting from Allah, and may you be admitted, well pleased, into the everlasting Gardens."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " خَرَجَتْ صَفِيَّةُ تَلْتَمِعُ بِرِدَائِها، وَهِيَ تَقُولُ:
[البحر البسيط]
قَدْ كَانَ بَعْدَكَ أَنْبَاءٌ وهَيْتَةٌ ... لَوْ كُنْتَ شَاهِدَهَا لَمْ يَكْثُرِ الْخَطْبُ "

It is narrated that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) came out waving her cloak, saying:
"After you there have been tidings and events; had you witnessed them, the matter would not have become so grave."
"After you there have been tidings and events; had you witnessed them, the matter would not have become so grave."
