English translation

[3783] 12 - (...) It was narrated from ‘Aishah that she wanted to buy Barīrah in order to manumit her, but they (her owners) stipulated conditions about the right of inheritance. She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he said: “Buy her and manumit her, for the right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave).” Some meat was given to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ as a gift, and they said to the Prophet ﷺ: “This was given in charity to Barīrah.” He said: “It is charity for her but it is a gift for us.” And she was given the choice. ‘Abdur-Raḥmān (a narrator) said: “Her husband was a free man.” Shu‘bah said: “Then I asked him about her husband, and he said: ‘I do not know.’”

12 - (1504) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بَرِيرَةَ لِلْعِتْقِ، فَاشْتَرَطُوا وَلَاءَهَا، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ» وَأُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَحْمٌ، فَقَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: هَذَا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ» وَخُيِّرَتْ - فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: - وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ، عَنْ زَوْجِهَا، فَقَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي،
