1. When her jew husband slapped her which made a green scar.
It is narrated from Ibn Umar:
كان بعين صفية رضي الله عنها خضرة فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «ما هذه الخضرة بعينك؟» فقالت: قلت لزوجي إني رأيت فيما يرى النائم قمرا وقع في حجري فلطمني وقال: تريدين ملك يثرب. قالت: فما كان أبغض إلي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قتل أبي وزوجي، فما زال يعتذر إلي ويقول: «يا صفية إن أباك ألب علي العرب وفعل وفعل» حتى ذهب ذاك من نفسي
There was a green scar in an eye of Safiyya. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked her, ‘What is this scar in your eye?’ She said, “I mentioned before my husband my dream that a moon fell into my lap upon which he slapped me and said; ‘Do you long for the King of Yathrib [the Prophet].’” She said: ‘There was none more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as he had my father and husband killed. The Prophet (ﷺ), however, kept on explaining, ‘Safiya! Your father instigated the Arabs against me and did such and such.’ He kept doing so till all my harsh feelings for him vanished.
Silsala al-Ahadith al-Sahiha, (Riyadh: Dar al-Ma‘rif, 1996) Vol.6, Hadith 2793, translation taken from the article by Waqar Akbar Cheema.

ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ بَعِيرِهِ فَيَضَعُ رُكْبَتَهُ، فَتَضَعُ صَفِيَّةُ رِجْلَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ حَتَّى تَرْكَبَ، فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ

Sahih al-Bukhari 2893
3. Wiping away her tears with his hands.
On the authority of Anas bin Malik
كَانَتْ صَفِيَّةُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَهَا ، فَأَبْطَأْتُ فِي الْمَسِيرِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي وَتَقُولُ: حَمَلْتَنِي عَلَى بَعِيرٍ بَطِيءٍ؟! فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ بِيَدَيْهِ عَيْنَيْهَا وُيُسْكِتُهَا، فَأَبَتْ إِلَّا بُكَاءً، فَغَضبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَرْكَهَا، فَقَدِمَتْ ، فَأَتَتْ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ: يَوْمِي هَذَا لَكِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ أَنْتِ أَرْضَيْتِهِ عَنِّي .
فَعَمَدَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِلَى خِمَارِهَا، وَكَانَتْ صَبَغَتْهُ بِوَرْسٍ وَزَعْفَرَانٍ، فَنَضَحَتْهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ حَتَّى قَعَدَتْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: (مَا لَكِ؟) .
فَقَالَتْ: ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللهِ يُؤْتِيَهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ !!
فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحَدِيثَ، فَرَضِيَ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ، وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى زَيْنَبَ. فَقَالَ لَهَا: ( إِنَّ صَفِيَّةَ قَدْ أَعْيَا بِهَا بَعِيرُهَا، فَمَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهَا بَعِيرَكِ ) ؟
“Safiya was traveling with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and that day was her day with him, but she fell behind due to her slow mount. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) approached her while she was crying and saying, “Did you make me ride a slow camel?” The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) wiped away her tears with his hands and (tried to) silence her, but she continued to cry, which angered the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so he left. Safiya then went to Aisha and said, “Today is your day with the Messenger of Allah, if you are pleased with me.”
Aisha then applied some water to her veil, which was dyed yellow with saffron, and sprinkled it with some water. She then came and sat at the head of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who said to her, “What is wrong?” She replied, “It is the blessing of Allah, which He bestows upon whomever He wills.” The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) understood the matter and was pleased with Safiya. He then went to visit Zainab and said to her, “Safiya’s camel has become tired, so why don’t you lend her your camel?”
Diya narrated in Ahadeeth al Mukhtarah vol 5 hadith 1727
This book is Mustakhraj on Bukhari and Muslim, According to Shaykh Badi Ud Din Shah Ar Rashidi this book is better than Al Mustadrak of Imam Al Haakim, The researcher عبد الملك بن عبد الله بن دهيش said the chain is authentic, al-Nasaee Narrated in Sunan al Kubra 9117, It is mentioned in Islamqa 242500 “The chain of narrators is good and linked.. and the hadith is proven”.
Comment:
How he wiped her tears with his hands, she still didn’t stop crying and as other people were also with him who were waiting for traveling, this annoyed him. And see the happiness of Aisha radhiAllahanha when she came to know Safiya gave her day go Aisha, and how Prophet peace be upon him went to Zainab radhiAllahanha for her camel to lend Safiya radhiAllahanha
4. How beautifully he (peace be upon him) consoled her feelings.
Narrated Anas:
بَلَغَ صَفِيَّةَ أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ، قَالَتْ بِنْتُ يَهُودِيٍّ . فَبَكَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ ” مَا يُبْكِيكِ ” . فَقَالَتْ قَالَتْ لِي حَفْصَةُ إِنِّي بِنْتُ يَهُودِيٍّ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” إِنَّكِ لاَبْنَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَإِنَّ عَمَّكِ لَنَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّكِ لَتَحْتَ نَبِيٍّ فَفِيمَ تَفْخَرُ عَلَيْكِ ” . ثُمَّ قَالَ ” اتَّقِي اللَّهَ يَا حَفْصَةُ ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
“It reached Safiyyah that Hafsah said: ‘The daughter of a Jew’ so she wept. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon her while she was crying, so he said: ‘What makes you cry?’ She said: ‘Hafsah said to me that I am the daughter of a Jew.’ So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘And you are the daughter of a Prophet (descendant of Haroon aleh salam), and your uncle is a Prophet (Musa aleh salam), and you are married to a Prophet, so what is she boasting to you about?’ Then he said: ‘Fear Allah, O Hafsah.'”
