نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، نَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، نَا عَمِّي ، نَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، وَالزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَتْ بَرِيرَةُ عِنْدَ عَبْدٍ فَأُعْتِقَتْ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْرَهَا بِيَدِهَا " .
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the wife of a slave. When she (Sayyidah Barirah, may Allah be pleased with her) was freed, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave her the choice regarding herself.
