It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she related: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time there was no one among the people more disliked by me than him (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People will not desist from attacking this House (the House of Allah) until an army attacks it. Then, when they reach a barren plain of the earth (al-Bayda'), the first and the last of them will be swallowed up by the earth, and those in the middle of them will not escape either." The lady (may Allah be pleased with her) related: I said: O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about one who has been compelled (to go along)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will raise them (on the Day of Resurrection) according to their intentions."

He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Since I have been standing by you, I have glorified Allah more than all the glorifications you have said so far." She said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Teach me those words too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Subhan Allahi 'adada ma khalaq' (Glory be to Allah, as many times as the number of what He has created)."

And he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: "O Safiyyah! I offer you my excuse for what was done to your people (that is, I explain the reason for it). Indeed they said such and such things about me; they said such and such about me."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَكَانَ فِي حِجْرِ صَفِيَّةَ ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ ، قَالَتْ : مَا رَأَيْتُ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ خُلُقًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ رَكِبَ بِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى عَجُزِ نَاقَتِهِ لَيْلًا ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْعَسُ فَيَضْرِبُ رَأْسِي مُؤْخِرَةَ الرَّحْلِ ، فَيَمَسُّنِي بِيَدِهِ ، وَيَقُولُ : يَا هَذِهِ ، مَهْلًا يَا بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ الصَّهْبَاءَ قَالَ : « أَمَا إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكِ يَا صَفِيَّةُ مِمَّا صَنَعْتُ بِقَوْمِكِ ، إِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) that she related: "I have never seen anyone of better character than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Khaybar at night with me seated on the rear part of his she-camel. Drowsiness began to overcome me, so that my head would knock against the back of the saddle. At that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would support me with his blessed hand and say: 'O lady! Steady, O daughter of Huyayy!' Until, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached al-Sahba', he said: 'Listen, O Safiyyah! I explain to you the true circumstances of what (the battle) I did to your people (so that no grievance remains in your heart), for they said such and such things about me (that is, they were foremost in bitter enmity and incitement).'"
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَتَحَدَّثْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَهُوَ عَاكِفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَامَ مَعِي لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي يُبَلِّغُنِي بَيْتِي ، فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيَاهُ اسْتَحْيَا فَرَجَعَا ، فَقَالَ : تَعَالَيَا ، فَإِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - . فَقَالَا : نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ ! سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ! قَالَ : « مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمَا هَذَا أَنْ تَكُونَا تَظُنَّا سُوءًا ، وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ » .
It is narrated from Ali bin Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her), the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), told him: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and sat with him (peace and blessings be upon him) talking, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf in the mosque. Then one night, when I was about to leave, he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up with me to take me back home. On the way two men of the Ansar met him. When they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they turned away out of modesty to leave. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Come here! This is Safiyyah bint Huyayy (the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)).' They said (in astonishment and embarrassment): 'We seek refuge with Allah, glory be to Allah!' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I did not say this to you because you would think ill of me; rather, I know that Satan circulates in the human body as blood does.'"
