باب في تَخْيِيرِ الأَمَةِ تَكُونُ تَحْتَ الْعَبْدِ فَتُعْتَقُ:Chapter: Giving a Freed Slave Woman the Choice After Emancipation
Hadith 2326
أَخْبَرَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بَرِيرَةَ، فَأَرَادَ مَوَالِيهَا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطُوا وَلَاءَهَا، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: "اشْتَرِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ"، فَاشْتَرَتْهَا فَأَعْتَقَتْهَا، وَخَيَّرَهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا وَكَانَ حُرًّا وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِلَحْمٍ، فَقَالَ: "مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا ؟"قِيلَ: تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، فَقَالَ: "هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ".
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she intended to purchase Sayyida Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her), her owners stipulated a condition regarding Sayyida Barirah’s inheritance for themselves (i.e., we will sell her but her wala’ [right of inheritance/loyalty] will be for us). Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Buy Barirah, for the wala’ belongs to the one who frees the slave, whether male or female.” Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: So I bought Barirah and set her free, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice to stay with her husband, who was a free man. And meat was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “Where did this come from?” It was said: It was given as charity to Barirah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It was charity for her, but for us it is a gift from her.”
