Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 6409 — I asked Sayyiduna Safinah about his name

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ، ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالُوا: ثنا حَشْرَجُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ سَفِينَةَ عَنِ اسْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَنَا مُخْبِرُكَ بِاسْمِي، سَمَّانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَفِينَةَ، قُلْتُ: لِمَ سَمَّاكَ سَفِينَةَ؟ قَالَ: خَرَجَ وَمَعَنَا أَصْحَابُهُ، فَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَتَاعُهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «ابْسُطْ كِسَاءَكَ» فَبَسَطْتُهُ، فَجَعَلَ فِيهِ مَتَاعَهُم، ثُمَّ حَمَلَهُ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: «احْمِلْ، مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا سَفِينَةٌ» قَالَ: فَلَوْ حَمَلْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ وِقْرَ بَعِيرٍ أَوْ بَعِيرَيْنِ أَوْ خَمْسَةَ أَوْسُقٍ مَا ثَقُلَ عَلَيَّ
Sa'id bin Jumhan said: I asked Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) about his name, and he said: I will tell you about my name. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) named me Safinah (ship). I asked: Why did he (peace and blessings be upon him) name you Safinah? He said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey and we, his companions, were with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Their baggage became heavy for the Companions, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spread out your cloak." I spread it out, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) placed everyone's baggage in it, then loaded it onto me and said: "Carry it, for you are nothing but a ship." Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had I carried the load of one or two camels, or five wasqs (of goods), that day, it would not have been heavy for me.
