21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Could the Prophet have married Safiyya right after Khaybar? No: she was a widow and the Quran requires a waiting period of four months and ten days, so a marriage at Khaybar would contradict the Quran. The companions only assumed a marriage because they saw the Prophet veil her and took a victory meal for a wedding feast.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ How should Muslims judge hadith that say the Prophet took Safiyya on the night of Khaybar? Weigh them against the Quran and the Prophet's character: the story contradicts the widow's waiting period, the verse on no compulsion and everything known of his conduct, and all its versions come from one conflicting source. Mufti Abu Layth says relaying it is a lie against the Prophet and the picture it draws is rape.
