It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Abdur Rahman Safeena, he says: Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) set me free, but she stipulated the condition that I would serve the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as long as he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained alive.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In the narration of Abu Dawud, there is an additional point: Sayyiduna Safinah radi Allahu anhu said to Sayyidah Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha: "Wa in lam tashtaritī ‘alayya ma fāraqtū Rasūlallāh sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ma ‘ishtu fa a‘taqatnī washtaratat ‘alayya." (Even if you do not place this condition upon me, as long as I live, I will not separate from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.) Then she freed me and also placed this condition upon me.
