نَا ابْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، نَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، نَا قُرَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، نَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَفِيَّةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَابِتٌ : مَا أَصْدَقَهَا ، قَالَ : أَصْدَقَهَا نَفْسَهَا أَعْتَقَهَا ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا " .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Lady Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her). Thabit narrates: I asked, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) give her a dowry?" So Sayyiduna Anas replied: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her herself as her dowry; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) freed her and then married her."
