Text and translation

English translation

2039. Narrated 'Ali bin Al-Ḥusain on the authority of Ṣafīyya: Ṣafīyya went to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in Itikāf. When she returned, the Prophet ﷺ accompanied her, walking. An Anṣārī man saw him. When the Prophet ﷺ noticed him, he called him and said, "Come here. She is Ṣafīyya." (Sufyān a subnarrator perhaps said that the Prophet ﷺ had said, "This is Ṣafīyya"). And Satan circulates in the body of Ādam's offspring as his blood circulates in it." A subnarrator asked Sufyān, "Did Ṣafīyya visit him at night?" He said, "Certainly, at night."

2039 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ، أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَتْ مَشَى مَعَهَا، فَأَبْصَرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَهُ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ: " تَعَالَ هِيَ صَفِيَّةُ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: هَذِهِ صَفِيَّةُ -، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ "، قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ: أَتَتْهُ لَيْلًا قَالَ: وَهَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا لَيْلٌ
