Sunan Ibn Majah 1980 (Book 9, Hadith 136) #31332
Comforting Jealousy

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) comforting 'Aishah when she was feeling jealous of his new wife, Safiyyah bint Huyai.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: When the Messenger of Allah came to Al-Madinah, he had just married Safiyyah bint Huyai, and the women of the Ansar came and told us about that. My expression changed and I covered my face and went away. The Messenger of Allah looked at my eyes and recognized me. I turned away and walked quickly, but he caught up with me and put his arm around me and said: 'What did you see?' I said: 'Let me go, (I saw) a Jewish woman among other Jewish women'. "
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ، عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُوَ عَرُوسٌ بِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَىٍّ جِئْنَ نِسَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ فَأَخْبَرْنَ عَنْهَا ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَتَنَكَّرْتُ وَتَنَقَّبْتُ فَذَهَبْتُ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ إِلَى عَيْنِي فَعَرَفَنِي ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَالْتَفَتَ فَأَسْرَعْتُ الْمَشْىَ فَأَدْرَكَنِي فَاحْتَضَنَنِي فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ أَرْسِلْ يَهُودِيَّةٌ وَسْطَ يَهُودِيَّاتٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us a story about the Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Safiyyah bint Huyai and how he comforted 'Aishah when she felt jealous. When the women of Al-Madinah told 'Aishah about this, her expression changed and she covered her face and walked away quickly. However, the Prophet Muhammad noticed this and followed her to ask what was wrong. When she told him that she saw a Jewish woman among other Jewish women, he comforted her by putting his arm around her and asking if there was anything else that made her feel uncomfortable or sad. This teaches us that it is important to be understanding towards those who are feeling jealous or insecure in any situation, as it can help them feel better in difficult times. It also shows us how much love and care the Prophet Muhammad had for his companions even during difficult times like these.
