English translation

[3782] 11 - (...) It was narrated from 'Aishah that she bought Barîrah from some people among the Anshâr, and they stipulated that the right of inheritance would be theirs. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The right of inheritance belongs to the one who bestows the favor (manumits the slave)." And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave her the choice, as her husband was a slave. And she gave some meat to 'Aishah as a gift, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Why don't you cook some of this meat for us?" 'Aishah said: "It was given in charity to Barîrah." He said: "It is charity for her and a gift for us.”

Arabic text

11 - (1504) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ مِنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَاشْتَرَطُوا الْوَلَاءَ، فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ وَلِيَ النِّعْمَةَ»، وَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا، وَأَهْدَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ لَحْمًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ صَنَعْتُمْ لَنَا مِنْ هَذَا اللَّحْمِ»، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ»
