3484. Yahya bin Abī Bukair Al-Karmānī said: "Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Qāsim, from his father, from 'Aishah. He (Shu'bah) said: "And he ('Abdur-Raḥmān) was the executor for his father." He (Shu'bah) said: "I was afraid to say to him: 'Did you hear this from your father.'" – 'Aishah said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about Barīrah, as I wanted to buy her but it was stipulated that the Wala' would go to her (former) masters. He said: 'Buy her, for the Wala' is to the one who sets the slave free.' And she was given the choice, as her husband was a slave." Then he said, after that: "I do not know."[1] – "And some meat was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and they said: 'This is some of that which was given in charity to Barīrah.' He said: 'It is charity for her and a gift for us.'"

Commentary
'I do not know': Whether he had been a free man or a slave. By one transmitter's forgetfulness, the sound report of the rest of the narrators does not become weak. The rest of the details have already been discussed in two or three chapters, which have preceded earlier.
