حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي شُمَيْسَةُ، أَوْ سُمَيَّةُ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: هُوَ فِي كِتَابِي سُمَيَّةُ (٤) ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَجَّ بِنِسَائِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ، نَزَلَ رَجُلٌ، فَسَاقَ بِهِنَّ، فَأَسْرَعَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " كَذَاكَ سَوْقُكَ بِالْقَوَارِيرِ "، يَعْنِي النِّسَاءَ،. فَبَيْنَا هُمْ يَسِيرُونَ، بَرَكَ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ جَمَلُهَا، وَكَانَتْ مِنْ أَحْسَنِهِنَّ ظَهْرًا، فَبَكَتْ. وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ، فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ دُمُوعَهَا بِيَدِهِ، وَجَعَلَتْ تَزْدَادُ بُكَاءً وَهُوَ يَنْهَاهَا، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَتْ، زَبَرَهَا وَانْتَهَرَهَا وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِالنُّزُولِ، فَنَزَلُوا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ.، ، قَالَتْ: فَنَزَلُوا، وَكَانَ يَوْمِي، فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا (١) ، ضُرِبَ خِبَاءُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَدَخَلَ فِيهِ، قَالَتْ: فَلَمْ أَدْرِ عَلَامَ أُهْجَمُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِهِ شَيْءٌ (٢) ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: تَعْلَمِينَ (٣) أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَبِيعُ (٤) يَوْمِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ أَبَدًا، وَإِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ يَوْمِي لَكِ عَلَى أَنْ تُرْضِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِّي، قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَتْ عَائِشَةُ خِمَارًا لَهَا قَدْ ثَرَدَتْهُ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ، فَرَشَّتْهُ بِالْمَاءِ لِيُذَكِّيَ رِيحَهُ، ثُمَّ لَبِسَتْ ثِيَابَهَا، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَفَعَتْ طَرَفَ الْخِبَاءِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: " مَا لَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِيَوْمِكِ ". قَالَتْ: ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ، فَقَالَ مَعَ أَهْلِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّوَاحِ، قَالَ لِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ: " يَا زَيْنَبُ، أَفْقِرِي أُخْتَكِ صَفِيَّةَ جَمَلًا "، وَكَانَتْ مِنْ أَكْثَرِهِنَّ ظَهْرًا، فَقَالَتْ: أَنَا أُفْقِرُ يَهُودِيَّتَكَ، فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا، فَهَجَرَهَا، فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهَا حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَأَيَّامَ مِنًى فِي سَفَرِهِ، حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْمُحَرَّمَ وَصَفَرَ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِهَا، وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهَا، وَيَئِسَتْ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ، دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَرَأَتْ ظِلَّهُ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَظِلُّ رَجُلٍ، وَمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَنْ هَذَا؟ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،، ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَصْنَعُ حِينَ دَخَلْتَ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَتْ: وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ، وَكَانَتْ تَخْبَؤُهَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: فُلَانَةُ لَكَ، فَمَشَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى سَرِيرِ زَيْنَبَ، وَكَانَ قَدْ رُفِعَ، فَوَضَعَهُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ أَهْلَهُ، وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Safiyyah that on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet (ﷺ) took his noble wives along with him. While they were still on the way, a man dismounted and began to drive the mounts of the noble wives quickly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Take these glass vessels (women) gently." During the journey, Safiyyah's camel became unruly. Her mount was the best and most beautiful among them. She began to weep. When the Prophet (ﷺ) found out, he came and began to wipe her tears with his blessed hand, but she wept even more. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept forbidding her, but when he saw that she was crying even more, the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade her sternly and ordered the people to camp, even though there was no intention to camp at that place. The people set up camp. Coincidentally, it was Safiyyah's turn that day. A tent was set up for the Prophet (ﷺ), and he went into his tent. Safiyyah says that she did not know how to approach the Prophet (ﷺ). She was afraid that the Prophet (ﷺ) might be displeased with her. So she went to Aisha and said, "You know that I cannot sell my turn with the Prophet (ﷺ) for anything, but today I give you my turn on the condition that you make the Prophet (ﷺ) pleased with me." Aisha agreed, took her scarf which she had dyed with saffron, sprinkled water on it so that its fragrance would spread, then put on new clothes and went towards the Prophet (ﷺ). When she reached near the Prophet's tent, she lifted a corner of the curtain. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw her and said, "Aisha! What is the matter? Today is not your turn." She replied, "This is the bounty of Allah, He gives it to whom He wills." The Prophet (ﷺ) spent that afternoon resting with his noble wife (Aisha). When it was time to depart, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Zainab bint Jahsh, who had more space in her mount, "Take your sister Safiyyah with you on your camel." Zainab blurted out, "Shall I take your Jewish wife with me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) became displeased upon hearing this and stopped speaking to her until they reached Makkah Mukarramah, spent the days in Mina, and then returned to Madinah Munawwarah. The months of Muharram and Safar passed, but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not go to Zainab, not even on her turn, which made Zainab somewhat hopeless. When the month of Rabi' al-Awwal came, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to her. She thought, "This shadow must be of some man; the Prophet (ﷺ) is not coming to me, so who is this?" Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the house. Seeing the Prophet (ﷺ), Zainab said, "O Messenger of Allah! Out of happiness, I do not know what to do at your arrival." She had a slave girl who used to prepare the tent for her. She said, "Such-and-such slave girl is now yours." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) walked to Zainab's bed, placed his hand on it, then secluded himself with her and became pleased with her.
