Sunan Abi Dawud 4994 (Book 43, Hadith 222) #25285
The Prophet's Concern for Safiyyah

SUMMARY: The Prophet (May peace be upon him) was concerned that the devil might inject something evil into the hearts of two men of the Ansar when they saw Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy.

Safiyyah said : The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was in the I’TIKAF(seclusion in the mosque). I came to visit him at night . I talked to him, got up and turned my back. He got up with me to accompany me. He was living in the house of Usamah b. Zaid. Two men of the Ansar passed by him. When they saw the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him), they walked quickly. The prophet (May peace be upon him) said: Be at ease; she is Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy. They said: Glory be to Allah, Messenger of Allah! He said: The devil flows in man as the blood flows in him. I feared that he might inject something in your hearts, or he said "evil" (instead of something).
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلاً فَحَدَّثْتُهُ وَقُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ فَقَامَ مَعِي لِيَقْلِبَنِي - وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ - فَمَرَّ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ أَسْرَعَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالاَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ شَرًّا

QUICK LESSONS:
Be mindful and careful about our thoughts and actions

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) was concerned for Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy. He was in seclusion in a mosque and she came to visit him at night. When two men from the Ansar passed by, he warned them not to let anything evil enter their hearts, as he feared that Satan may have injected something bad into them. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful and careful about our thoughts and actions, as Satan can easily influence us if we are not vigilant. It also shows us how much care and concern the Prophet Muhammad had for his companions, even those who were not related to him by blood or marriage. He wanted to protect them from any harm or danger, even if it meant warning them against something as intangible as an evil thought entering their minds.
