Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was informed that Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) had said about her: She is the daughter of a Jew. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), she was crying. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Why are you crying? She replied: Hafsah said about me: I am the daughter of a Jew. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are the descendant of a Prophet, your (forefathers) had a Prophet as an uncle, and you are the wife of a Prophet, so what is it that Hafsah can boast over you for? Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to Sayyidah Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with her): O Hafsah, fear Allah.
