One night Safiyah had a vision in which she saw the moon suspended over
a city which she knew to be Medina. In her vision she saw the moon drift
towards Khybar and when it reached the city it came to rest in her lap.
Innocently, Safiyah told Kinanah of her vision whereupon, in an
uncontrollable burst of anger, Kinanah struck her violently upon her face
saying: "This can mean but one thing, you desire Muhammad the King of
Hijaz!"
When Safiyah was brought before the Prophet, praise and peace be upon

her husband he had struck her.
