Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 7, Hadith 142
narrated from Safiyyah bint Huyai, the wife of the Prophet
(ﷺ),
that she came to visit the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was
in
I’tikaf during the last ten days of the month of Ramadan. She spoke
with him for a while during the evening, then she stood up to go
back.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up to take her home. When she
reached
the door of the mosque that was by the home of Umm Salamah,
the wife
of the Prophet (ﷺ), two men from among the Ansar passed by
them.
They greeted the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with peace, then went
away.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Take it easy, she is Safiyyah bint Huyai.” They said: “Glorious is Allah, O Messenger of Allah!” And they were very upset by that (i.e., that he thought they may have some doubts). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood, and I was afraid that he might cast some doubt into your hearts.”

Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by the scholar Ibn Majah, who passed away in 273 AH (886 CE), the Sunan Ibn Majah is recognized as one of the six canonical hadith collections, or Kutub al-Sittah, within Sunni Islam. This substantial work contains approximately 4,000 narrations that address a wide array of subjects crucial to Islamic life. These topics encompass matters of faith, detailed ritual practices, personal ethics, and broader social issues. While it is a respected and important resource, its standing is often considered slightly below that of the other five major collections. This perception exists because scholars have identified a number of weaker narrations within its contents. Despite this qualification, it continues to be an invaluable reference for Islamic scholars and students engaged in deep study.
