English translation

[3786] 14 - (...) It was narrated from 'Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that she said: "Three rulings were established concerning Barīrah: She was given the choice about her husband when she was manumitted; some meat was given to her and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me when the earthen pot was on the fire. He called for some food, and some bread, and ordinary condiments were brought to him. He said: 'Do I not see an earthen pot on the fire with meat in it?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allāh; that is meat that was given in charity to Barīrah and we did not want to give some to you.' He said: 'It is charity for her but it is a gift from her to us.'" And the Prophet ﷺ said concerning her: 'The right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave).'"

14 - (1504) وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ سُنَنٍ: خُيِّرَتْ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا حِينَ عَتَقَتْ، وَأُهْدِيَ لَهَا لَحْمٌ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْبُرْمَةُ عَلَى النَّارِ، فَدَعَا بِطَعَامٍ، فَأُتِيَ بِخُبْزٍ وَأُدُمٍ مِنْ أُدُمِ الْبَيْتِ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَمْ أَرَ بُرْمَةً عَلَى النَّارِ فِيهَا لَحْمٌ»، فَقَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَلِكَ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُطْعِمَكَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَهُوَ مِنْهَا لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ»، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا: «إِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»
