[5679] 24 - (2175) It was narrated from ‘Alî bin Husain that Şafiyyah bint Huyayy said: “The Prophet ﷺ was observing I’tikâf and I came to visit him one night. I spoke to him, then I got up to go back, and he got up with me to send me back.” Her home was in the house of Usâmah bin Zaid. Two men of the Anşâr passed by, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ, they hurried up. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Wait; this is Şafiyyah bint Huyayy.” They said: “Subhân-Allâh, O Messenger of Allâh!” He said: “The Shaitân flows through man like blood, and I was afraid that he might instil some evil (or something) in your hearts.”

24 - (2175) وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ - قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعْتَكِفًا، فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ لِأَنْقَلِبَ، فَقَامَ مَعِيَ 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» فَقَالَا: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَرًّا» أَوْ قَالَ «شَيْئًا»
