8.8. THE WISDOM BEHIND THIS MARRIAGE
This blessed marriage of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was predestined by Allah (the Exalted and Glorified). Safiyyah saw it in her vision while sleeping.
While distributing the war booty and the female prisoners, the companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) felt that it was too overwhelming for any of them to have Safiyyah for himself. Knowing that Safiyyah was the Lady of Banu an-Nadir and Banu Quraydhah and the daughter of their leader and master, the Companions realized that she was worthy only of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Approving of their opinion, the Prophet (peace be upon him) set Safiyyah free and married her. Her emancipation was her dowry and this was the best dowry she could ever have because the Prophet wanted to honor her and ease her grief.
With marrying Safiyyah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) aimed at ending the enmity and hostility adopted by the Jews against him and against Islam, all the way long, but alas they went on with their hatred for Islam and for the Prophet simply because it was their natural disposition to be malicious and stubborn.
