Today, I will talk very briefly about Saafiya bint Huyayy.

Who was she?

Saafiya was the wife of Kinana who was the treasurer of jewish tribe of Bani Khaybar in Medina.

After a certain point, Mohammed started attacking jewish tribes of Madina one by one. The defeated... 1/n

.. The defeated tribes faced terrible fate-the men were massacred or exiled, and all their property + all women + all children were taken as war booty and distributed among Muslims as property or slaves.

In the pictures attached, you can read about the affair of Khayabar 2/n

Some salient facts here:

1. Kinana was tortured and killed on Mohd's orders after a fort in Khaybar ws taken.

2. Saafiya, his 17 years old wife was brought to Mohd. On way she passed dead body of her husband

3. Saafiya was visibly in a state of deep shock because... 3/n

.. she was silent and did not cry on seeing Kinana's dead body.

4. Mohd put a cloak on her indicating he was going to "take" her.

5. In an act that Muslims claim shows Mohd's pity, He scolded the man who marched her past Kinana's deadbody saying delicate women should not... 4/n

... should not be subjected to such painful sights.

6. Mohd "married" Saafiya the same evening. And took her to his tent the same night where she spent the night with Mohd

7. Saafiya remained Mohd's wife till Mohd died.
