حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ ابْنَةِ حُيَىٍّ قَالَتْ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا، فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلاً، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ، فَقَامَ مَعِي لِيَقْلِبَنِي، وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، فَمَرَّ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْرَعَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا، إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىٍّ». فَقَالاَ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا سُوءًا، أَوْ قَالَ شَيْئًا».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in tomas, so I came to visit him at night and spoke with him. Then I stood up and turned to leave, so he stood with me to escort me back. Her dwelling was in the house of Usamah b. Zayd. Two men from the Ansar passed by, and when they saw the Prophet ﷺ, they hurried away. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Take it easy; she is Safiyyah bt. Huyayy." They said, "Glory be to Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Indeed, Satan flows through the human being as blood flows, and I feared that he might cast some evil into your hearts—or he said, something."
