8.16. HER GENEROSITY
Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was a very charitable and generous woman. She used to give out and spend whatever she had for the sake of Allah to the extent that she gave out a house that she had when she was still alive.
The way Safiyyah dealt with ibn showed her virtue, her generosity, her deep insight, and her ability to handle things well. Kinanah, the slave of Safiyyah, said, “I was driving the mule of Safiyyah and she was going to when al-Ashtar, not recognizing her, came up in her way and slapped her mule on the face. Her mule knelt down. Safiyyah said to me, “Take me back before I am disgraced by this.” She then put wood between her house and that of upon which she transferred to him the water and food.
This wonderful situation on Safiyyah’s side showed her dissatisfaction with what had happened to (may Allah be pleased with him). He was besieged in his house and he was prevented to have water or food Safiyyah stood by him in his ordeal and supported him until he came out through this hardship. She (may Allah be pleased with her) did not spare any effort in helping Uthman who was chosen by the people to be the Caliph. It was only her true Islam and her love for Allah and His Messenger that drove her to exert all her efforts to put things in order again,
