English translation

2470. It was reported from Ma'mar from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ali bin Husain, from Safiyyah, who said: “While the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was observing I'tikāf I came to visit him at night. I spoke to him and then got up to return. He stood up with me to see me to the house.” Her dwelling was in the abode of Usāmah bin Zaid. Two men from the Anṣār passed by (while he was with her). When they saw the Prophet ﷺ they hastened on. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Take it easy, she is Safiyyah bint Hūyyay.” They said: ‘Glory be to Allāh! O Messenger of Allāh!’ He said: ‘The Shaitān flows through the human like the flow of blood, so I was afraid that it might have cast something in your hearts.’ or he said: ‘evil.’” (Sahih)

2470 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ شَبُّوَيْهِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ فَقَامَ مَعِي لِيَقْلِبَنِي، وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْرَعَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا، إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ»، قَالَا: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا»، أَوْ قَالَ: «شَرًّا»،
