English translation
1155. ‘Āishah narrated: “Barīrah’s husband was a free man, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ let her chose.” (Da’if) (Abū ‘Eisā said:) The Hadīth of ‘Āishah is Hasan Sahih. This is how it (no. 1154) was reported by Hishām bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Āishah that she said: “Barīrah’s husband was a slave.” ‘Ikrimah reported it from Ibn ‘Abbās who said: “I saw Barīrah’s husband, and he was a slave named Mughith.” This is how it was reported from Ibn ‘Umar. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They said that when a slave woman is married to a free man and she is freed, then she has no choice. She only has a choice when she is freed and she was married to a slave. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad and Ishāq. More than one narrator reported the story of Barīrah from Al-A'mash, from Ibrāhīm, from Al-Aswad, from 'Aishah. Al-Aswad said: "And her husband was a free man." And this is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Tābi'īn and others, and it is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and the people of Al-Kūfah.
