أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَا: نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، نا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، نا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا اشْتَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ فَأَعْتَقَتهَا وَاشْتَرَطَتِ الْوَلَاءَ فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ وَخَيَّرَهَا فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ " قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: جَوَّدَ حَبَّانُ فِي قَوْلِهِ عِدَّةُ الْحُرَّةِ لِأَنَّ عَفَّانَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ وَعَمْرَو بْنَ عَاصِمٍ رَوَيَاهُ فَقَالَا: وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَهُ هُدْبَةُ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ عِدَّةَ حُرَّةٍ.
Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) bought Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) and set her free, and they had stipulated the wala' (right of inheritance from the freed slave). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled: "The wala' belongs to the one who sets free," and he gave her the choice. She chose herself. He (peace and blessings be upon him) separated the two of them and imposed upon her the waiting period of a free woman.
Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Habban was precise in his wording "the waiting period of a free woman," because Affan bin Muslim and Amr bin Asim both narrated it and said: "and he ordered her to observe a waiting period," and they did not mention the waiting period of a free woman.
Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Likewise Hudbah narrated it from Hammam: he ordered her to observe the waiting period of a free woman.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، نا أَبُو سَهْلِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْقَطَّانُ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الدَّبَّاغُ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَامِعٍ، نا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الْبَاهِلِيِّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ بَرِيرَةَ قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَعَلَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he mentioned the story of Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her). He said that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set her waiting period as the waiting period of a free woman."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، أنا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " جَعَلَ عِدَّةَ بَرِيرَةَ عِدَّةَ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ حِينَ فَارَقَتْ زَوْجَهَا " وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، وَقَالَ أَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set the waiting period of Barirah as that of a divorced woman when she separated from her husband. Abu Amir al-Aqadi narrated it from Abu Ma'shar and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her "to observe the waiting period of a free woman." And Allah knows best.
