ahmad:2542ʿAffān > Hammām > Qatādah > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] That Burayrah's husband was a black slave named Mughith. He said, "I used to see him following her in the streets of the city, pouring his eyes over her." He said, "The Prophet ﷺ ruled four rulings in her case. Her dependents had stipulated loyalty, so the Prophet ﷺ ruled loyalty for whoever freed her and gave her the option to choose for herself. She chose herself and the Prophet ﷺ commanded her to pay a charity. So she gave some of it to Aisha and she mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ , so he said, 'It is a charity for her and a gift to us.'"

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: There were three issues which were clarified in case of Barira: her owners had decided to sell her on the condition that the right of her inheritance would vest with them. She ('A'isha) said: I made a mention of that to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and he said: Buy her and emancipate her, for verily the right of inheritance vests with one who emancipates. She said that she emancipated (her) and Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her the option (either to retain her matrimonial alliance or break it after emancipation). She (taking advantage of the option) opted for herself (the severing of matrimonial alliance). 'A'isha said: The people used to give her charity and she gave us that as gift. I made a mention of it to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, whereupon he said: That is charity for her but gift for you, so take that.

"Three judgments were established because of Barirah. Her masters wanted to sell her but they stipulated that Al-Wala should still be to them. I mentioned that to the Prophet 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 Allah gave her the choice, and she chose herself. 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 and he said: 'Eat it for it is charity for her and a gift for us.'"

[Machine] The translation of the given text into English is as follows: "Indeed, the husband of Barirah was a black slave called Mughith. I used to see him following her in the streets of Madinah, squeezing his eyes upon her. Then the Prophet ﷺ settled in regards to him with four rulings: he decreed that a person who frees a slave has the loyalty to choose for him or for her. He commanded her to adhere to that. Hammam, the freed slave woman, said: a set number of days. And he decreed that she must give charity on her behalf. So she gave some of it to Aisha, and she mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ . He said: it is charity for her, and we have a gift."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that four conditions of loyalty be fulfilled towards it, and the Prophet ﷺ ruled that loyalty belong to whoever frees it and gives it the choice, so it chose itself and was commanded to observe hijab and give charity. And it was given to Aisha as a gift from it. Aisha asked the Prophet ﷺ about it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is charity for her and a gift for us."
