5279. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: Three traditions were established concerning that in which Barīra was involved: When she was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband or leave him; Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Al-Walā"(1) is for the one who manumits." Once Allāh's Messenger ﷺ entered the house while some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only bread and some soup of the house were placed before him. He said, "Don't I see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat was given to Barīra in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what is given in charity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "That meat is a charity for her, but for us it is a present." (See H. 5430)

5279 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ القَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلاَثُ سُنَنٍ: إِحْدَى السُّنَنِ أَنَّهَا أُعْتِقَتْ فَخُيِّرَتْ فِي زَوْجِهَا، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ» وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالبُرْمَةُ تَفُورُ بِلَحْمٍ، فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ خُبْزٌ وَأُدْمٌ مِنْ أُدْمِ البَيْتِ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَمْ أَرَ البُرْمَةَ فِيهَا لَحْمٌ» قَالُوا: بَلَى، وَلَكِنْ ذَلِكَ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، وَأَنْتَ لاَ تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ قَالَ: «عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ»
