English translation
6219. Narrated Ṣāfiyya bint Ḥuyā, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that she went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while he was in I'tikāf (seclusion in the mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of Ramaḍān. She spoke to him for an hour at night and then she got up to return home. The Prophet ﷺ got up to accompany her, and when they reached the gate of the mosque opposite the dwelling place of Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, two Anṣārī men passed by, and greeting Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, they quickly went ahead. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to them, "Do not be in a hurry! She is Ṣāfiyya, the daughter of Huyāi." They said, "Subhān Allāh! O Allāh's Messenger (how dare we suspect you)." That was a great thing for both of them. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Satan runs in the body of Ādam's son (i.e., man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts."
