English translation

2536. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: I bought Barira, but her masters put the condition that her Walā' would be for them. I told the Prophet ﷺ about it. He said (to me), "Manumit her, as her Walā' will be for the one who pays the price." So, I manumitted her. The Prophet ﷺ called Barira and gave her the option of either staying with her husband or leaving him. She said, "Even if he gave me so much money, I would not stay with him," and so she preferred her freedom to her husband.

Arabic text

2536 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: اشْتَرَيْتُ بَرِيرَةَ، فَاشْتَرَطَ أَهْلُهَا وَلاَءَهَا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّ الوَلاَءَ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى الوَرِقَ»، فَأَعْتَقْتُهَا، فَدَعَاهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَيَّرَهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا، فَقَالَتْ: لَوْ أَعْطَانِي كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا ثَبَتُّ عِنْدَهُ، فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا
