Hadith of Safiyyah bint Huyayy bin Akhtab, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with her)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7118 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made her freedom
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ الْكُوفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا كِنَانَةُ قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي صَفِيَّةُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَعَلَ عِتْقَهَا مَهْرَهَا ، وَأَنَّهُ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا ، وَبِيَدِهَا أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ نَوَاةٍ تُسَبِّحُ بِهَا ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ سَبَّحْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ عَلَيْكِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا سَبَّحْتِ قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : عَلِّمْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : « قُولِي : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made her freedom (from slavery) her dowry (mahr). Also, once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her while she had four thousand date-stones with which she was glorifying Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Since I have been standing by you, I have glorified Allah more than all the glorifications you have said so far." She said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Teach me those words too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Subhan Allahi 'adada ma khalaq' (Glory be to Allah, as many times as the number of what He has created)."
