1957. It was narrated that Anas said: "Safiyyah was given to Dihyah Al-Kalbi (as his share of the war booty), then she was given to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ after that. He married her, and made her ransom (i.e., freedom from slavery) her dowry." (Sahih) Hammād said: "Abdul-'Aziz said to Thâbit: 'O Abu Muhammad! Did you ask Anas what her bridal-money was?' He said: 'Her bridal-money was her freedom.'" أَمْهَرَهَا تَفْسَهَا.
1957 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: «صَارَتْ صَفِيَّةُ لِدِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ، ثُمَّ صَارَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدُ، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَجَعَلَ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقَهَا» قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ لِثَابِتٍ: يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنْتَ سَأَلْتَ أَنَسًا مَا أَمْهَرَهَا؟ قَالَ: «أَمْهَرَهَا نَفْسَهَا»

Safiyyah became a war prisoner when the Muslims attacked Banu Nadir, a tribe of Jews. For further details see Hadith: 1909 and its comments. The freedom of a female slave can be declared as her dower.
