حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَعْتَقَ صَفِيَّةَ وَجَعَلَ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقَهَا . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَكَرِهَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ عِتْقُهَا صَدَاقَهَا حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ لَهَا مَهْرًا سِوَى الْعِتْقِ . وَالْقَوْلُ الأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ .

Qutaybah narrated to us: Abu Awanah narrated to us, from Qatadah and Abd al-Aziz ibn Suhayb, from Anas ibn Malik: The Messenger of Allah freed Safiyyah and made her emancipation her dowry. It is also reported in this chapter from Safiyyah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Anas is hasan sahih. Some scholars among the Companions of the Prophet and others acted on this; it was the view of al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Some scholars disliked making her emancipation her dowry unless a separate dowry was assigned to her. The first view is more correct.
