Hadith 3405

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، أَنْبَأَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ كَانَ عَبْدًا أَسْوَدَ يُسَمَّى مُغِيثًا ، وَكُنْتُ أَرَاهُ يَتْبَعُهَا فِي سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، يَعْصِرُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا ، قَالَ : فَقَضَى فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعَ قَضِيَّاتٍ : قَضَى أَنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، وَخَيَّرَهَا وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ قَالَ هَمَّامٌ مَرَّةً : عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ ، قَالَ : وَتُصُدِّقَ عَلَيْهَا بِصَدَقَةٍ ، فَأَهْدَتْ مِنْهَا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ ، وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ " . .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the husband of Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) was a black-skinned Abyssinian slave whose name was Mughith. I used to see him following Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) in the streets of Madinah, and his tears were flowing down his beard. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made four decisions regarding Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that the right of wala’ (allegiance) belongs to the one who set her free; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice of emancipation; and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to observe the waiting period (‘iddah). And once, someone gave something to Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) as charity, and she sent a portion of it to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) as a gift. She mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: “It is charity for her, and it is a gift for us (because the ownership has changed).”
