عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ أَنَّهُ : لَقِيَ سَفِينَةَ بِبَطْنِ نَخْلَةَ فِي زَمَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ : فَأَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِ لَيَالٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَحَادِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ : مَا اسْمُكَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِمُخْبِرِكَ ! سَمَّانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سَفِينَةَ . قُلْتُ : وَلِمَ سَمَّاكَ سَفِينَةَ ؟ قَالَ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَتَاعُهُمْ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " ابْسُطْ كِسَاءَكَ " . فَبَسَطْتُهُ ، فَجَعَلُوا فِيهِ مَتَاعَهُمْ ثُمَّ حَمَلُوهُ عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " احْمِلْ ؛ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتِ سَفِينَةٌ " . فَلَوْ حَمَلْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ وِقْرَ بَعِيرٍ أَوْ بَعِيرَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةٍ أَوْ خَمْسَةٍ أَوْ سِتَّةٍ أَوْ سَبْعَةٍ مَا ثَقُلَ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يَحْفُوا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِأَسَانِيدَ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ وَالطَّبَرَانِيِّ ثِقَاتٌ .

Sa'id bin Jumhan narrates that, in the time of al-Hajjaj, he met Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) at a place called "Batn Nakhlah." The narrator says: I stayed with him for eight days so that I could keep asking him about the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: I asked him: "What is your name?" He said: "I will not tell you, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me the name 'Safinah' (ship)." I asked: "Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) give you the name 'Safinah'?" He told me: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, and his Companions were with him. Their belongings were heavy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Spread out your cloak!" I spread it out, and they placed their belongings in that cloak; then they loaded those belongings onto me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Carry this load! For you are a ship." Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Had I carried at that time the load of one camel, or two camels, or three camels, or four, or five, or six, or seven camels, it would not have been a burden for me; however, if they had been on foot, the matter would be different.
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani recorded it with various chains, and the narrators of Ahmad and al-Tabarani are thiqat (trustworthy).

وَعَنْ عِمْرَانَ الْبَجَلِيِّ ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى وَادٍ . قَالَ : فَجَعَلْتُ أَعْبُرُ النَّاسَ أَوْ أَحْمِلُهُمْ قَالَ : فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا كُنْتَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا سَفِينَةً ، أَوْ مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا سَفِينَةٌ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحَدِهِمَا ثِقَاتٌ .
Imran al-Bajali has reported this statement of a freed slave of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her): I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. We reached a valley, and I began helping the people across (or carrying people's loads). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Today you are a ship (safinah)." (Here the narrator is in doubt about the wording, but the meaning is this.)
Ahmad recorded it with two chains, and the narrators of one of them are thiqat (trustworthy).

وَعَنْ سَفِينَةَ قَالَ : كُنْتُ فِي الْبَحْرِ ، فَانْكَسَرَتْ سَفِينَتُنَا فَلَمْ نَعْرِفِ الطَّرِيقَ ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالْأَسَدِ قَدْ عَرَضَ لَنَا ، فَتَأَخَّرَ أَصْحَابِي فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَنَا سَفِينَةُ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَقَدْ أَضْلَلْنَا الطَّرِيقَ ، فَمَشَى بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ حَتَّى أَوْقَفَنَا عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ ، ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى وَدَفَعَنِي كَأَنَّهُ يُرِينِي الطَّرِيقَ ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوَدِّعُنَا .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : فَانْكَسَرَتْ سَفِينَتِي الَّتِي كُنْتُ فِيهَا ، فَرَكِبْتُ لَوْحًا مِنْ أَلْوَاحِهَا فَطَرَحَنِي اللَّوْحُ فِي أَجَمَةٍ فِيهَا الْأَسَدُ ، فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ يُرِيدُنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا الْحَارِثِ ، أَنَا سَفِينَةُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ فَدَفَعَنِي بِمِنْكَبِهِ . وَالْبَاقِي بِنَحْوِهِ .

Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was at sea and our ship broke apart, and we did not know the way. Meanwhile a lion appeared in front of us. My companions drew back, and I went close to it. I said: "I am 'Safinah,' a Companion of the Messenger of Allah. We have lost our way." So the lion walked ahead of us until it brought us to the road. Then it moved to one side and gave me the chance to go forward, as if it were showing me the way, and I realised that it was about to take leave of us.
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded something similar, except that he reported these words: "The ship I was on broke apart. Then I climbed onto a plank, and that plank brought me to a forest in which there was a lion. It came towards me, intending to attack me. I said: 'O Abu al-Harith! I am "Safinah," the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah.' So it lowered its head, then came towards me and pushed me forward with its shoulder." The rest of the report is as before.

عَنْ سَفِينَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ نَحْوَهُ . وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ : عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ ! ، وَرِجَالُهُمَا وُثِّقُوا .
This same report has been transmitted through another chain from Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Allamah al-Haythami says: I do not know what these words of the report mean, that it is transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrators of both reports have been declared trustworthy.
