Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about his name, and he said: My name was Qays, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) named me "Safinah" (ship). He was asked: Why did he (peace and blessings be upon him) name you Safinah? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey together with his Companions, and their luggage became heavy for them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Spread out your cloak." I spread out the cloak, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) put all their luggage in it, then loaded it onto me and said: "Carry it; you are nothing but a ship (safinah)." Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After that day, even if the load of one, two, or five or six camels had been placed on me, it would not have been heavy for me.
This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Reference / Source: Imam Ahmad (21924) recorded through the route of Sharik bin 'Abd Allah al-Nakha'i that a freed slave of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) (Safinah) said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey; we came to a valley, and I began carrying people across (the water) or carrying them, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Today you are nothing but a safinah (ship)".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Sharik bin 'Abd Allah is "sayyi' al-hifz" (of poor memory). 'Imran al-Nakhli (Ibn 'Abd Allah bin Kaysan) was narrated from by his son Hammad and by Sharik, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat".
Note / Clarification: "Al-Nakhli" is an attribution to a village named "Nakhlah"; according to al-Sam'ani, it is a well-known village six farsakhs (about 30 kilometres) from Makkah.

وأخرج أحمد 36 / (21924) من طريق شريك النخعي، عن عمران النخلي، عن مولى لأم سلمة، قال: كنت مع النبي ﷺ في سفر، فانتهينا إلى واد قال: فجعلتُ أُعبر الناس أو أحملهم، قال: فقال لي رسول الله ﷺ: "ما كنت اليوم إلَّا سفينة" أو "ما أنت إلَّا سفينة". وشريك سيئ الحفظ، وعمران النخلي -وهو ابن عبد الله بن كيسان- روى عنه ابنه حماد وشريك، وذكره ابن حبان في "الثقات". وسيأتي في الحديث التالي أنه كان مملوكًا لأم سلمة. والنَّخلي: نسبة إلى نخلة، قال السمعاني: وظنّي أنها القرية المعروفة على ستة فراسخ من مكة.
