She informed him that she came to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in spiritual retreat at the mosque during the last ten nights of Ramadan. She spoke with him for a while in the early evening, then stood up to leave. The Prophet ﷺ rose with her to walk her back.

This is Safiya bint Huyayy."They exclaimed, "Glory be to Allah, Messenger of Allah!" and they were deeply distressed by what he had said.He explained, "Satan flows through the son of Adam like the flow of blood, and I feared that he might cast something into your hearts."
