8.11. HER TRAVELS WITH THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM)
Whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him), went for a battle, he used to choose by lot from his wives to see who would go with him. And, he used to give those who go with him a share from the booty.
In her travels with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) Safiyyah experienced many situations that are worthy of mentioning. For example, once the Prophet traveled accompanying both Safiyyah and Umm Salamah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) approached the howdah of Safiyyah mistaking it for that of Umm Salamah, and it was the day of the latter. He went on speaking with Safiyyah and this aroused the jealousy of Umm Salamah. When the Prophet realized that he was speaking to Safiyyah he went to Umm Salamah who said, “How can you talk to the daughter of the Jewish on my day?” Umm Salamah then said, “I then regretted for saying so and I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) to pray to Allah to forgive me my saying as it was only jealousy that made me say it.( l ) Another situation was with Zaynab bint Jahsh. Both, she and Safiyyah, went with the Prophet (peace be upon him) on one of his travels and the camel of Safiyyah fell sick. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Zaynab, ‘The camel of Safiyyah has fallen sick, what about giving her one of your camels?” She said, “Never should I give it to such a Jewish woman. The Prophet (peace be upon him) became angry with her and he did not approach her for two or three months.
It was said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) became real angry with Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) for what she said. He (peace be upon him) got angry for the sake of Allah since he could never approve of any kind of oppression for he only feared Allah and this was a good lesson for Zaynab.
