Safiyya bint Huyayy (Arabic: صفية بنت حيي Ṣafiyya bint Ḥuyayy) was a Jewish woman from the Banu Nadir tribe. After the Battle of Khaybar in 628, she was widowed and taken captive by the early Muslims and subsequently became Muhammad's tenth wife.^[1] Like all other women who were married to Muhammad, Safiyya was known to Muslims as a "Mother of the Believers".^[2] Their marriage produced no children and ended with Muhammad's death in Medina in 632.
