Abstract
Safia Binit Huei’a Bin Akhtab is the wife of prophet Muhammad (peace and prayer be upon him) and the mother of the believers. Prophet Muhammed married her after Khaiber Conquer when he emancipated then married her. Her emancipatation was her dowery. I have found a reference for her in books of prophet traditions (Hadeeth) with [118] repetitive recitation ,[26] unrepetitive recitation; [5] are correct and two are proper as well as in [19] week hadeeth. Traditions containing reference to Safia ranged between lawful, prohibited, mandatory, admissible and unpleasant.
Safia had characteristics not available in prophet Muhammad (peace and prayers be upon him) other wives; she is an offspring of prophet Haroon , her uncle prophet Mousus and her husband prophet Muhammad .On the prophet’s death she was the only among his wives entrusted to Ali Bin Abi Talib as the prophet’s other wives belonged to flocks and tribes save Safia.
Safia had the noble stance in defending Uthman Bin Afan (prince of believers) , God has please with him, after being sieged by the oppressors. She went out to defend him so that she uncounted various types of harm seeking God’s reward. Safia gave the most glorious examples in patience, solid faith and dexterity and love the prophet and his blessed message. Although her flock were subject to destruction and killing at the hands of Muslims (after her tribe breached compact with Muslims), but all these incidents did not undermine her determination towards her new religion and Islamic doctrine she embraced instead of the perverted Judaism.
