Sahih al-Bukhari 1961 (Book 33, Hadith 10)
while he was in I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. She had a talk with him for a while, then she
got up in order to return home. The Prophet (ﷺ) accompanied her. When they reached the gate of the
mosque, opposite the door of Um-Salama, two Ansari men were passing by and they greeted Allah’s
Apostle . He told them: Do not run away! And said, “She is (my wife) Safiya bint Huyai.” Both of
them said, “Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any evil) O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” And they felt it. The
Prophet said (to them), “Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it,
(everywhere in one’s body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds.”
