English translation

2035. Narrated 'Ali bin Al-Husain رضي الله عنه، the wife of the Prophet ﷺ told me that she went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to visit him in the mosque while he was in I'tikāf in the last ten days of Ramaḍān. She had a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The Prophet ﷺ accompanied her. When they reached the gate of the mosque, opposite the door of Umm Salama, two Anṣārī men were passing by and they greeted Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. He said to them: "Do not run away!" And said, "She is (my wife) Ṣāfiyya bint Ḥuyāi." Both of them said, "Subḥān Allāh, (How dare we think of any evil) O Allāh's Messenger." And they felt it. The Prophet ﷺ said (to them), "Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it (everywhere in one's body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds." [See H.2038].

Arabic text

2035 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الحُسَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ - زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَزُورُهُ فِي اعْتِكَافِهِ فِي المَسْجِدِ فِي العَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَتَحَدَّثَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ قَامَتْ تَنْقَلِبُ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهَا يَقْلِبُهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتْ بَابَ المَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ بَابِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، مَرَّ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَسَلَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا، إِنَّمَا هِيَ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ»، فَقَالاَ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبْلُغُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَبْلَغَ الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا»
