English translation

[3781] 10 - (...) It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “Three rulings were given concerning Barīrah. Her masters wanted to sell her but they stipulated that the right of inheritance would be theirs. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Buy her and manumit her, for the right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave).'" She said: "Then she was manumitted, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave her the choice,[1] and she chose herself. And the people used to give her charity and she would give us gifts. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'It is charity for her, but it is a gift for you, so eat it.'"

10 - (1504) حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ قَضِيَّاتٍ: أَرَادَ أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا وَيَشْتَرِطُوا وَلَاءَهَا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ» قَالَتْ: وَعَتَقَتْ، فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَتُهْدِي لَنَا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَهُوَ لَكُمْ هَدِيَّةٌ، فَكُلُوهُ»
