Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Safiyyah that I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: "An army will surely set out with the intention of attacking this House (the Ka'bah). When they reach a place called Bayda, the middle part of their army will be swallowed by the earth, and neither the front nor the rear of the army will be saved, nor those in the middle." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what will happen to those people who were forced to join this army?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "No, they will be raised according to their intentions."

Sahira bint Jaifar says that once I went to Hazrat Safiyyah bint Huyayy and asked her about the ruling of nabidh (fermented drink) in a jug. She replied that the Prophet (peace be upon him) declared nabidh in a jug to be forbidden.

It is narrated from Hazrat Safiyyah that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) was in a state of i'tikaf. I came to the Prophet's presence at night to meet him. After talking for a while, I stood up to leave, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) also got up to see me off. At that time, my residence was in the house of Usama bin Zaid. Meanwhile, two Ansari men passed by, and when they saw the Prophet (peace be upon him), they quickened their pace. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to them, "Wait, this is Safiyyah bint Huyayy." Both of them said, "Subhan Allah, O Messenger of Allah (could we ever think anything bad about you?)" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Satan runs in the human being like blood, so I feared that he might put some evil thought into your hearts."

Sahira bint Jaifar says that once I went to Hazrat Safiyyah bint Huyayy and asked her about the ruling on nabidh (fermented drink) made in a jug. She replied that the Prophet (peace be upon him) declared nabidh made in a jug to be forbidden.

Sahira bint Jaifar says that once we performed Hajj, then we went to Madinah Munawwarah and there we also visited Hazrat Safiyyah bint Huyayy. We found some women from Kufa sitting with her. These women said to Sahira, "If you wish, you can ask questions and we will listen, otherwise we will ask questions and you listen." We said, "You ask the questions." So they asked Hazrat Safiyyah several questions, for example, regarding husband and wife, regarding the days of impurity, and then regarding the nabidh (fermented drink) made in a jug. Hazrat Safiyyah said, "O people of Iraq, you ask a lot about the nabidh made in a jug (the Prophet, peace be upon him, has declared it haram). However, there is no harm for any of you to cook your dates, then strain and clean them, and put them in a waterskin, tie its mouth, and when it becomes good, drink it yourself and give it to your husband to drink as well."

It is narrated from Hazrat Safiyyah that on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took his noble wives along with him. While they were still on the way, a man dismounted and began to drive the mounts of the noble wives quickly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take these glass vessels (women) gently." During the journey, Hazrat Safiyyah's camel became unruly. Her mount was the best and most beautiful among them. She began to weep. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found out, he came and began to wipe her tears with his blessed hand, but she wept even more. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept forbidding her, but when he saw that she was crying even more, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade her sternly and ordered the people to camp, even though there was no intention to camp at that place. The people set up camp. Coincidentally, it was Hazrat Safiyyah's turn that day. A tent was set up for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he went into his tent.

Hazrat Safiyyah says that she did not know how to approach the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She was afraid that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) might be displeased with her. So she went to Hazrat Aisha and said, "You know that I cannot sell my turn with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything, but today I give you my turn on the condition that you make the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pleased with me." Hazrat Aisha agreed, took her scarf which she had dyed with saffron, sprinkled water on it so that its fragrance would spread, then put on new clothes and went towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When she reached near the Prophet's tent, she lifted a corner of the curtain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw her and said, "Aisha! What is the matter? Today is not your turn." She replied, "This is the bounty of Allah, He gives it to whom He wills." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spent that afternoon resting with his noble wife (Hazrat Aisha).

When it was time to depart, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Hazrat Zainab bint Jahsh, who had more space in her mount, "Take your sister Safiyyah with you on your camel." Hazrat Zainab blurted out, "Shall I take your Jewish wife with me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became displeased upon hearing this and stopped speaking to her until they reached Makkah Mukarramah, spent the days in Mina, and then returned to Madinah Munawwarah. The months of Muharram and Safar passed, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go to Hazrat Zainab, not even on her turn, which made Hazrat Zainab somewhat hopeless. When the month of Rabi' al-Awwal came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to her. She thought, "This shadow must be of some man; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not coming to me, so who is this?" Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house. Seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Zainab said, "O Messenger of Allah! Out of happiness, I do not know what to do at your arrival." She had a slave girl who used to prepare the tent for her. She said, "Such-and-such slave girl is now yours." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked to Hazrat Zainab's bed, placed his hand on it, then secluded himself with her and became pleased with her.
