حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ صَارَتْ صَفِيَّةُ لِدِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ ثُمَّ صَارَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بَعْدُ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَجَعَلَ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقَهَا . قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ لِثَابِتٍ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْتَ سَأَلْتَ أَنَسًا مَا أَمْهَرَهَا قَالَ أَمْهَرَهَا نَفْسَهَا .

Anas said: Safiyyah first became Dihyah al-Kalbi’s share, then later became the Messenger of Allah’s (ﷺ). He married her and made her emancipation her bridal dower. Hammad said: Abd al-Aziz asked Thabit, ‘Abu Muhammad, did you ask Anas what bridal dower he gave her?’ He replied, ‘He gave her herself.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report states that the Prophet made Safiyyah’s emancipation her bridal dower; Thabit paraphrases this as giving her herself.
