8.18. HER DEATH
Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) lived long after the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him). She dedicated her life to worshiping Allah, the Almighty, for she was a firm and strong believer. She lived in the era of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and she witnessed its events and experienced many ordeals in that era. She was a unique woman and never had she been passive. She always proved to be a patient and forbearing woman, She played an important role in many of the fatal incidents in history, like her strong role in supporting Uthman ibn Affan the Caliph of the Muslims.
In 50 AH Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away at the age of sixty-nine. When Abdallah ibn Abbas heard of her death after his performing the morning prayer, he prostrated. Though the Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited the prostration at that time of the day, yet he (peace be upon him) said, “If you see a sign, you should prostrate.” Here, Abdallah ibn Abbas said, “And what is a greatest sign would be than the death of the Prophet’s wives.
Safiyyah was then buried in al-Baqi with the rest of Ummahat al-Mu ‘minin and with the daughters of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and her funeral was attended by a number of the great Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all).
