حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَهْمٌ يُدْعَى الصَّفِيَّ إِنْ شَاءَ عَبْدًا وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمَةً وَإِنْ شَاءَ فَرَسًا يَخْتَارُهُ قَبْلَ الْخُمُسِ .

Narrator: ‘Amir Al Sha’bi

English translation
‘Amir Al Sha’bi said “The Prophet (ﷺ) had a special portion in the booty called safi. This would be a slave if he desired or a slave girl if he desired or a horse if he desired. He would choose it before taking out the fifth.”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ‘আমির আশ-শা‘বী (রহঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর জন্য (গানীমাতের) বিশেষ অংশ ছিলো। যা সাফী নামে আখ্যায়িত। তিনি ইচ্ছা করলে তা কৃতদাস, বাঁদী, ঘোড়া যাই হোক, গানীমাত থেকে এক-পঞ্চমাংশ পৃথক করার পূর্বেই নিতেন।
