Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخْبَرَتْهُ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَعِنْدَهُ أَزْوَاجُهُ، فَرُحْنَ، فَقَالَ لِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَىٍّ ‏"‏ لاَ تَعْجَلِي حَتَّى أَنْصَرِفَ مَعَكِ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ بَيْتُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَهَا، فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَنَظَرَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ أَجَازَا وَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ تَعَالَيَا، إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىٍّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالاَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُلْقِيَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمَا شَيْئًا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Saʿīd ibn ʿUfayr said: al-Layth related to me: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Khālid related to me, from Ibn Shihāb, from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), that Ṣafiyyah, the wife of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), informed him. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad related to us: Hishām related to us: Maʿmar informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn: The Prophet was in the mosque with his wives. When they left, he said to Ṣafiyyah bint Ḥuyayy: ‘Do not hurry; I will accompany you.’ Her house was in the compound of Usāmah. The Prophet went out with her, and two men from the Anṣār met him. They looked at the Prophet and continued on. The Prophet said to them: ‘Come here. This is Ṣafiyyah bint Ḥuyayy.’ They said: ‘Glory be to Allah, Messenger of Allah!’ He said: ‘Satan flows through a person as blood flows through him, and I feared that he might cast something into your hearts.’
