Safiyya Bint Hoyaii, one of the Prophet's wives, went to 'A'ishah one day because the Prophet was angry with her for something. She said to 'A'ishah: Oh 'A'ishah! Would you ask the Prophet to forgive me and I will give you my day with him?? 'A'ishah agreed. She got up and dressed in a nice dress that was adorned with saffron, a plant that has the smell of perfume. She sprinkled it with water so that the smell would create an aroma. She then approached the Prophet (pbuh) and sat beside him. He said: 'A'ishah move away from me for today is not your day.? She told him about the deal between her and Safiyya. She shrugged and said: He [Allah] bestows it upon whom He wills.? (Surat Al Jumu?ah, 4). The Prophet (pbuh) laughed and forgave Safiyya.
