It is narrated from Hazrat Safina (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The caliphate will remain for thirty years, after that kingship will come." Hazrat Safina (may Allah be pleased with him) counted it as follows: two years of the caliphate of Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), ten years of Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), twelve years of Hazrat Usman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), and six years of Hazrat Ali Murtaza (may Allah be pleased with him) (making a total of thirty years).

It is narrated from Hazrat Safina (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came as a guest to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He prepared food for him, so Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "If we invite the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he would also eat with us." So they sent for the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) held the door's handles, he saw that a curtain was hanging in one corner of the house. As soon as the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it, he turned back. Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "Go after him and ask the reason for his return." Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) followed and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why did you return?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is not appropriate for me or for any Prophet to enter a house which is adorned and decorated in such a manner."

It is narrated from Hazrat Safina (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came as a guest to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

I also asked him his name, but he replied, 'I cannot tell you that. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named me Safina.'

He replied, 'Once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with his companions (may Allah be pleased with them), their luggage was gathered and the bundle was loaded onto me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Carry it, for you are Safina (a ship)." That day, even if not one or two, but the load of seven camels had been placed on me, I would not have felt any burden, except if they had overburdened me.'"
