Sahih al-Bukhari 1964 (Book 33, Hadith 13)
departed and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Safiya bint Huyai, “Don’t hurry up, for I shall accompany you,” (and
her dwelling was in the house of Usama). The Prophet (ﷺ) went out and in the meantime two Ansari men
met him and they looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) and passed by. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, “Come here. She is
(my wife) Safiya bint Huyai.” They replied, “Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of evil) O Allah’s
Apostle! (we never expect anything bad from you).” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “Satan circulates in the
human being as blood circulates in the body, and I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in
your minds.”
