حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَا ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ
حَدَّثَتْنِي صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ جِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ عَاكِفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَامَ مَعِي لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي لَيُبْلِغُنِي بَيْتِي فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَاهُ اسْتَحْيَيَا فَرَجَعَا فَقَالَ «تَعَالا إِنَّمَا هِيَ صَفِيَّةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» فَقَالَا مَعَاذَ اللهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمَا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَظُنَّانِ شَرًّا وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ»

✧ Safiyyah bint Huyay, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated to me: I came to the Prophet ﷺ to talk with him while he was in i'tikaf in the mosque. He stood up with me one night to escort me to my house. Two men of the Ansar met him, and when they saw him they felt shy and turned back. He said, 'Come here; it is only Safiyyah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ.' They said, 'Allah forbid! Glory be to Allah.' He said, 'I am not telling you that you should think evil, but I know that Satan runs through a person like blood.'
