Safiyyah bint ‘Abd al-Muttalib

Saffiyah binte ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib (Arabic: صفية بنت عبدالمطلب‎‎) (c.569–c.640) was a companion and aunt of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Safiyyah was the daughter of Abdul-Muttalib ibn Hashim and Halah bint Wuhayb ibn Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah, hence the full sister of Hamza and an aunt of Muhammad and Ali. She was about ten years old when her father died, and an elegy for him is attributed to her.

I could not sleep for the voices of the keening women,
Bewailing a man on the crown of life's road ...
The generous Shayba, full of merits ...
A very rain when camels had no milk ...
Could men be immortal through ancient glory,
(Alas immortality is unobtainable!)
He would make his last night endure for ever
Through his surpassing glory and long descent.

She was first married to Harith ibn Harb, and their son was Safi ibn Harith. They were apparently divorced by 593.

Her second husband was Awwam ibn Khuwaylid, a brother of Khadija, who lived next door to them. Safiya and Awwam had three sons: Al-Zubayr, Al-Sa'ib and Abdulkaaba. Awwam died while their children were young.

Safiyyah used to beat her son Al-Zubayr severely. The neighbours protested about this. "You have killed him! You have wrenched his heart. Will you destroy the boy?" Safiya replied, "I beat him so that he will be intelligent and will be bold in the battle."

When Muhammad began preaching in public, he gave a special warning to the members of his immediate family.

"O Quraysh people! Buy yourselves! I cannot save you from Allah. O Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah. O Safiya bint Abd al-Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah. O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask what you wish from my property, but I cannot save you from Allah."
