حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ : أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ كَانَتْ مُكَاتَبَةً لِأُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَاعَهَا فَأُعْتِقَهَا ، فَأَمَرْتُهَا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ فَتُخْبِرَهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : إِنْ جَعَلْتِ لَنَا وَلَاءَهَا بِعْنَاهَا ، فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : اشْتَرِيهَا فَأَعْتِقِيهَا ، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى الثَّمَنَ ، قَالَتْ : فَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدٍ ، فَلَمَّا أُعْتِقَتُ ، قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اخْتَارِي : إِنْ شِئْتِ تَسْتَقِرِّي تَحْتَ هَذَا الْعَبْدِ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتِ أَنْ تُفَارِقِيهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَإِنِّي قَدْ فَارَقْتُهُ ، قَالَتْ : فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَالْمِرْجَلُ يَفُورُ بِاللَّحْمِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا هَذَا يَا عَائِشَةُ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : أَهْدَتْهُ لَنَا بَرِيرَةُ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : هُوَ لِبَرِيرَةَ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) was a mukatabah (a slave-woman under a contract to buy her freedom) of some people of the Ansar. She relates: "I intended to buy her and set her free, and I told her to go to her owners and inform them of this. Her owners said: If you accept the condition that the wala' (right of inheritance) remains ours, we will sell her to you. I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a ruling on this matter, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Buy her and set her free, for the right of wala' belongs only to the one who pays the price and sets free.'" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that she was married to a slave, so when she was set free, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice, saying: "You have the choice: if you wish, remain in the marriage of this slave, and if you wish, separate from him." She said: "I have separated from him." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that then once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came in to me while meat was boiling in the pot. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Aishah, what is this?" I said: "Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave it to us as a gift, while she had received this meat as charity." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is charity for Barirah and a gift for us."
