What does 'Safina' mean?

Safina is Arabic for ark. The Prophet  described the end of time as an ocean raging with deadly waves, the salvation from which was the ark and the stars. "My family is like the ark of Nuh, whoever boards it is safe and whoever turns away from it drowns. And my companions are like the stars, whomever you follow, you will be guided." Safina was also the nickname of the Prophet's servant.
