قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، هُوَ ابْنُ زَبَالَةَ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ عُرْوَةَ، هِيَ بِنْتُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، عَنْ جَدِّهَا الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ؓ قَالَ:

لَمَّا خَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، خَلَّفَهُنَّ فِي فَارِعٍ، وَفِيهِنَّ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ؓ وَخَلَّفَ فِيهِنَّ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ ؓ فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِيَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ، فَقَالَتْ صَفِيَّةُ ؓ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ؓ: دُونَكَ الرَّجُلَ، فَجَبُنَ حَسَّانُ ؓ وَأَبَى عَلَيْهَا، فَتَنَاوَلَتْ صَفِيَّةُ ؓ السَّيْفَ فَضَرَبَتْ بِهِ الْمُشْرِكَ حَتَّى قَتَلَتْهُ، فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ لِصَفِيَّةَ ؓ بِسَهْمٍ كَمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرِّجَالِ.

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left his wives behind on the day of Uhud in Madinah, he left them in a fortress, among them Safiyyah bint Abd al-Muttalib ؓ, and he left Hassan b. Thabit ؓ with them. A man from the polytheists approached to enter upon them. Safiyyah ؓ said to Hassan b. Thabit ؓ, "Deal with the man." But Hassan ؓ was cowardly and refused. So Safiyyah ؓ took up a sword and struck the polytheist with it until she killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of that, and he allotted a share of the spoils to Safiyyah ؓ just as he allotted to the men.
