Hadith 1262
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ سُنَنٍ وَكَانَتْ فِي إِحْدَى السُّنَنِ أَنَّهَا أُعْتِقَتْ فَخُيِّرَتْ فِي زَوْجِهَا.
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she stated: Three Sunnahs were established with Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her). One of them is that when she was set free, she was also given the choice regarding her husband (i.e., if she wished, she could maintain the marriage or annul it).
Hadith 1263
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الْأَمَةِ تَكُونُ تَحْتَ الْعَبْدِ فَتَعْتِقُ: إِنَّ لَهَا الْخِيَارَ مَا لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا، فَإِنْ مَسَّهَا فَلَا خِيَارَ لَهَا.
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said regarding the slave woman who is married to a slave and her master sets her free: if her husband has not had intercourse with her, then she has a choice; but if he has had intercourse with her, then she has no choice.
Hadith 1264
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ: أَنَّ مَوْلَاةً لِبَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، يُقَالُ لَهَا: زَبْرَاءُ أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدٍ، وَهِيَ أَمَةٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَعَتَقَتْ، قَالَتْ: [ ص: 107 ] فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيَّ حَفْصَةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَعَتْنِي، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي مُخْبِرَتُكِ خَبَرًا، وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَصْنَعِي شَيْئًا، إِنَّ أَمْرَكِ بِيَدِكِ مَا لَمْ يَمَسَّكِ زَوْجُكِ، قَالَتْ: فَفَارَقَتْهُ ثَلَاثًا.
It is narrated from Urwah bin Zubair (may Allah have mercy on him) that the freed slave woman of Banu Adi bin Ka'b, whose name was Zabra, informed him that she was married to a slave, and at that time she was a slave woman when her master set her free. She says that the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), sent a message to her and called her, and said: "I am going to tell you something, and I do not like that you should do anything (hasty). That is, your matter is now in your own hands until your husband has intercourse with you." So she separated herself from her husband three times.
Hadith 1265
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ: أَنَّ مَوْلَاةً لِبَنِي عَدِيٍّ، يُقَالُ لَهَا: زَبْرَاءُ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدٍ وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَمَةٌ فَعَتَقَتْ. قَالَتْ: فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيَّ حَفْصَةُ فَدَعَتْنِي فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي مُخْبِرَتُكِ خَبَرًا، وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَصْنَعِي شَيْئًا إِنَّ أَمْرَكِ بِيَدِكِ مَا لَمْ يَمَسَّكِ زَوْجُكِ، قَالَتْ: فَفَارَقَتْهُ ثَلَاثًا. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَلَمْ تَقُلْ لَهَا حَفْصَةُ: لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقِي ثَلَاثًا.
It is narrated from Urwah that the freed slave woman of Bani Adi, whose name was Zabra, informed him that when she was a slave, she was married to a slave man. Her master set her free. She says that Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) sent for me with a message and said: "I am going to tell you something, and I do not want you to do anything (hasty), and that is: now your matter is in your own hands until your husband has intercourse with you." She says that he separated from her three times. Imam Shafi’i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) did not say to her that it is not permissible for you to give him three divorces.
Hadith 1266
أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ عِنْدَهُ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ، فَقَالَ: كَانَ ذَلِكَ مُغِيثٌ عَبْدُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَتْبَعُهَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي.
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when mention was made to him of the husband of Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her), he said: "He was Mughith, the slave of such-and-such tribe. It is as if I can still see him, weeping and walking behind her along the road."
Hadith 1267
أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ كَانَ عَبْدًا. [ ص: 108 ] أَخْرَجَ السِّتَّةَ الْأَحَادِيثَ مِنْ كِتَابِ أَحْكَامِ الْقُرْآنِ.
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that Barirah's (may Allah be pleased with her) husband was a slave.
