English translation
2233. It was reported from Hishām bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Āishah — regarding the story of Barīrah — “Her husband was a slave, so the Prophet ﷺ gave her the option (of remaining his wife), and she chose herself. And had he been a free man, the Prophet ﷺ would not have given her the option.” (Sahīh)
