2231. It was reported from Khālid Al-Hadh-dhā', from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās that Mughīth was a slave, and he said: "O Messenger of Allāh, intercede on my behalf with her."[1] So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O Barīrah; fear Allāh, for he is your husband, and the father of your children." She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, are you commanding me with that?' He replied: "No, I am only an intercessor." And his tears were flowing down his cheeks, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to 'Abbās: "Does it not amaze you how much Mughīth loves her, yet she hates him so?" (Sahīh)

Commentary
If a slave man and a slave woman are united in marriage but, later on, the slave-girl is set free before her husband, she has the right to stay or not to stay with her husband.
