English translation

3478. It was narrated that 'Aîshah said: "Three judgments were established because of Barîrah. Her masters wanted to sell her but they stipulated that Al-Wala, should still be to them. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Buy her and set her free, for Al-Wala, is to the one who sets the slave free.' She was set free and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave her the choice, and she chose herself.[1] And she used to be given charity and she would give some of it as a gift to us. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Eat it for it is charity for her and a gift for us.'" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3448 - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ قَضِيَّاتٍ، أَرَادَ أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا وَيَشْتَرِطُوا الْوَلَاءَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»، وَأُعْتِقَتْ فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا، وَكَانَ يُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُهْدِي لَنَا مِنْهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «كُلُوهُ، فَإِنَّهُ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ»
