Narrated ‘Ali bin Al-Husain:
That when they reached Medina after returning from Yazid bin Mu’awaiya after the martyrdom
of Husain bin ‘Ali (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him), Al-Miswar bin Makhrama met him and
said to him, “Do you have any need you may order me to satisfy?” ‘Ali said, “No.” Al-Miswar said, Will
you give me the sword of Allah’s Apostle for I am afraid that people may take it from you by force?
By Allah, if you give it to me, they will never be able to take it till I die.” When Ali bin Abu Talib de –
manded the hand of the daughter of Abi Jahal to be his wife besides Fatima, I heard Allah’s Apostle

on his pulpit delivering a sermon in this connection before the people, and I had then attained my
age of puberty. Allah’s Apostle said, “Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials
in her religion (because of jealousy).” The Prophet then mentioned one of his son-in-law who was
from the tribe of ‘Abu Shams, and he praised him as a good son-in-law, saying, “Whatever he said
was the truth, and he promised me and fulfilled his promise. I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor
do I make an illegal thing legal, but by Allah, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and the daughter of the
enemy of Allah, (i.e. Abu Jahl) can never get together (as the wives of one man) (See Hadith No. 76,
Vo. 5).

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 33: RETIRING TO A MOSQUE FOR REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH (I’TIKAF)
Safiya, the wife of the Prophet told me that she went to Allah’s Apostle to visit him in the mosque
while he was in Itikaf 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 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 Apostle!” 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.”
