Ibn A’bud said, Ali said to me“May I not narrate you about me and Fathimah daughter of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ? She was most favorite to him of his family. ”I said“Yes”. He said“She pulled the grinding stone with her hand so much that it affected her hand, she carried water in a water bag so much so that it affected the upper portion of her chest, she swept the house so much so that her clothes became dirty. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم acquired some slaves”. So I said“Would that you go to your father and ask him for a slave. She then came to him and found some people with him talking to him. She therefore returned. Next day she came again. He asked (her), what was your need? But she kept silence. So I said, I inform you, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . She pulled grinding stone so much that it affected her hand, she carried water bag so much so that it affected the upper portion of her chest. When the slaves were brought to you I asked her to come to you and to ask you for a slave to save her from the exertion she is suffering. ”He said“Fear Allaah, Fathimah and perform the duty of your Lord and do the work of your family. ”When you go to bed say“Glory be to Allaah”thirty three times,“Praise be to Allaah”thirty three times,“Allaah is Most Great”thirty four times. This is hundred times. That will be better for you than a servant. She said“I am pleased with Allaah, Most High and with his Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . ”

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ali bin Hussain through a different chain of narrators. This version adds“He (the Prophet) did not provide her with a slave. ”

Narrated Mujjaah ibn Mirarah al-Yamani: Mujjaah went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asking him for the blood-money of his brother whom Banu Sadus from Banu Dhuhl had killed. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Had I appointed blood-money for a polytheist, I should have appointed it for your brother. But I shall give you compensation for him. So the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wrote (a document) for him that he should be given a hundred camels which were to be acquired from the fifth taken from the polytheists of Banu Dhuhl. So he took a part of them, for Banu Dhuhl embraced Islam. He then asked Abu Bakr for them later on, and brought to him the document of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . So Abu Bakr wrote for him that he should be given one thousand two hundred sa's from the sadaqah of al-Yamamah; four thousand (sa's) of wheat, four thousand (sa's) of barley, and four thousand (sa's) of dates. The text of the document written by the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم for Mujjaah was as follows: "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This document is from Muhammad, the Prophet, to Mujjaah ibn Mirarah of Banu Sulma. I have given him one hundred camels from the first fifth acquired from the polytheist of Banu Dhuhl as a compensation for his brother. "

Amir Al Shabi said“The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had a special portion in the booty called safi. This would be a slave if he desired or a slave girl if he desired or a horse if he desired. He would choose it before taking out the fifth. ”

Ibn Awn said“I asked Muhammad about the portion of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and safi. He replied“A portion was taken for him along with the Muslims, even if he did not attend (the battle) and safi (special portion) was taken from the fifth before everything. ”

Qatadah said“When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم participated in battle there was for him a special portion which he took from where he desired. Safiyyah was from that portion. But when he did not participate himself in his battle, a portion was taken out for him, but he had no choice. ”

Aishah said“Safiyyah was called after the word safi (a special portion of the Prophet). ”

Anas bin Malik said“We came to Khaibar. We bestowed the conquest of fortress (on us), the beauty of Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy was mentioned to him (the Prophet). Her husband was killed (in the battle) and she was a bride. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم chose her for himself. He came out with her till we reached Sadd Al Sahba’ where she was purified. So he cohabited with her.

Anas bin Malik said“Safiyyah first fell to Dihyat Al Kalbi, the she fell to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Anas said“A beautiful slave girl fell to Dihyah”. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم purchased her for seven slaves. He then gave her to Umm Sulaim for decorating her and preparing her for marriage. The narrator Hammad said, I think he said“Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy should pass her waiting period in her (Umm Sulaims’) house. ”
