The Story of the Miracle of the Prophet and the Cloak

It has been narrated to us by Abu Mansur al-Tha'fari, Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Alawi (may Allah have mercy on him), who informed us that Abu Ja'far, Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Duhaym, told us that Ahmad ibn Hazim ibn Abi Ghurzah narrated to us, who told us that 'Ubaydullah ibn Musa and Abu Nu'aim, from Hashraj ibn Nubatah, who said: Saeed ibn Jumhan informed us from Safinah, who said: I asked Safinah, "What is your name?" He replied, "I am not telling you." Then he said, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, named me Safinah." I asked, "Why did he name you Safinah?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out with his companions, and their baggage became heavy on them. The Messenger of Allah told me: 'Spread your cloak.' So, I spread it and they put their belongings in it. They then put it on me, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, 'Carry, for indeed, you are the ship.' Since that day, if I carried the provisions of a camel, or two camels, or three, or four, or five, or six, or seven, it would not weigh on me except that I hide it."

[Narrated by al-Hakim in "al-Mustadrak" (3:606) and he said: "The chain of narrators is authentic, but they did not include it." al-Dhahabi confirmed it. Refer to "al-Isabah" (2:58).]
