Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Barirah’s husband was a black Abyssinian slave whose name was Mughith. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) made four decisions regarding Barirah! The people who freed Barirah stipulated the condition of the right of wala (allegiance). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that the right of wala would go to the one who pays the price. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice regarding her husband and ordered her to observe the waiting period (‘iddah). And Barirah received some charity, from which she gave a portion as a gift to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). So Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It is charity for her and a gift for us.”
