sleeping lady-occupants up of these dwellings (for praying)?” (He meant by this his wives.) The

The wife of the Prophet that she went to Allah’s Apostle while he was in Itikaf (staying in the
mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while)
at night and then she got up to return home. The Prophet got up to accompany her, and when they
reached the gate of the mosque opposite the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet,
two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Allah’s Apostle , they quickly went ahead. Allah’s Apostle
said to them, “Do not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of Huyai.” They said, “Subhan Allah! O
Allah’s Apostle (how dare we suspect you).” That was a great thing for both of them. The Prophet
then said, “Satan runs in the body of Adam’s son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was
afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts.”
