English translation
3101. Narrated Ṣāfiyya رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ that she came to visit Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while he was in I'tikāf (i.e., seclusion) in the mosque during the last ten days of Ramaḍān. When she got up to return, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ got up with her and accompanied her, and when he reached near the gate of the mosque close to the door (of the house) of Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, two Anṣār men passed by them and greeted Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and then went away. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ addressed them saying, "Don't hurry! (She is my wife)." They said, "Glorified be Allāh! O Allāh's Messenger. (You are far away from any suspicion)," and his saying was hard on them. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Satan circulates in a human being as blood does (in his body). I was afraid that Satan might put some (evil) thoughts in your hearts."
