English translation

1156. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "Barīrah's husband was a black slave belonging to Banū Al-Mughīrah. On the day that Barīrah was freed. By Allāh! It is as if I can see him in the streets of Al-Madīnah behind her. Indeed tears were flowing down his beard while he was trying to get her to chose to stay with him, but she did not do it." (Ṣaḥīḥ) (Abū 'Eisā said:) This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Sa'eed bin Abī 'Arūbah (one of the narrators) is Sa'eed bin Mihrān, and his Kunyah is Abū An-Nadr.

١١٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَيُّوبَ ‌وَقَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ «أَنَّ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ» كَانَ عَبْدًا أَسْوَدَ لِبَنِي الْمُغِيرَةِ يَوْمَ أُعْتِقَتْ بَرِيرَةُ، وَاللهِ لَكَأَنِّي بِهِ فِي طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَنَوَاحِيهَا وَإِنَّ دُمُوعَهُ لَتَسِيلُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ، يَتَرَضَّاهَا لِتَخْتَارَهُ، فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةُ هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، وَيُكْنَى أَبَا النَّضْرِ.

Commentary

If the husband of a slave woman is a slave at the time of her freedom, she gets the right to stay with her husband or to leave him. If the husband is a free person at the time of her freedom, she loses this privilege.
