Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Safinah radi Allahu anhu was Persian; for the reason behind his name, see hadith number (11736). Sayyiduna Safinah radi Allahu anhu was, in this respect, the servant of Sayyidah Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha, because she had set him free. However, by this association, he was the servant of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as he had stipulated the condition of serving him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
