Seen quite a few people point out the Zad al Ma'ad quotes were a mistranslation mixed with fabrication from another site (doesn't say safina was black) and bought more than sold had bits added about Jacob etc. Now using a sourced translation.

===Muhammad Bought More Slaves Than he Sold===


{{Quote|Zad al-Ma'ad, p. 160|"Mohammed had many male and female slaves. He used to buy and sell them, but he purchased more slaves than he sold, especially after God empowered him by His message, as well as after his immigration from Mecca. He once sold one black slave for two. His name was Jacob al-Mudbir. His purchases of slaves were more than he sold. He was used to renting out and hiring many slaves, but he hired more slaves than he rented out."<ref>Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Zad al-Ma'ad, Part 1, p. 160</ref>}}

He bought more than he sold once Allaah Honored him with his message and he engaged in hire, though he was most often a provider. However, it has been recorded that he sold one slave for two slaves and that he offered himself to Khadeeja as a merchant.}}


===Origins of Mahran's (The "Ship"'s) Nickname===
===Origins of Safina's Nickname (Mahran, "The Ship")===


{{Quote||"The apostle of God and his companions went on a trip. (When) their belongings became too heavy for them to carry, Muhammad told me, `Spread your garment.' They filled it with their belongings, then they put it on me. The apostle of God told me, `Carry (it), for you are a ship.' Even if I was carrying the load of six or seven donkeys while we were on a journey, anyone who felt weak would throw his clothes or his shield or his sword on me so I would carry that, a heavy load. The prophet told me, `You are a ship"' <ref>Ibn Qayyim, Pages 115-116; al-Hulya, Volume 1, Page 369, quoted from Ahmad 5:222</ref>}}
Safina was a slave of Muhammad or his wife Umm Salama, who emancipated him.
