39. Marriage
٣٩۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
Barirah was emancipated, and she was the wife of Mughith, a slave of Aal AbuAhmad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her choice, and said to her: If he has intercourse with you, then there is no choice for you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2236)
بَرِيرَةَ أُعْتِقَتْ وَهِيَ عِنْدَ مُغِيثٍ عَبْدٍ لِآلِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ لَهَا إِنْ قَرِبَكِ فَلَا خِيَارَ لَكِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Barirah: "If he has had intercourse with you, then there is no option for you except to seek separation with Muhammad bin Ibrahim."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي لِبَرِيرَةَ إِنْ وَطِئَكِ فَلَا خِيَارَ لَكِ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
[Machine] She has the option as long as her property is not touched upon by her debtor in his narration, but if he touches upon it, she has no choice.
لَهَا الْخِيَارَ مَا لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا زَادَ مَالِكٌ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ فَإِنْ مَسَّهَا فَلَا خِيَارَ لَهَا
[Machine] So she sent a message to Hafsah, the Prophet's wife, and Hafsah called me and said, "I have some news to tell you, and I do not like that you do anything unless your husband agrees." I said, "So I left him." This hadith from Ibn Bukayr was also narrated by Abu Qilaba, who mentioned that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "When a woman is called by her husband, she has no choice. And Allah knows best what is correct."
فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَعَتْنِي فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي مُخْبِرَتُكِ خَبَرًا وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَصْنَعِي شَيْئًا إِنَّ أَمْرَكِ بِيَدِكِ مَا لَمْ يَمَسَّكِ زَوْجُكِ قَالَتْ فَفَارَقْتُهُ ثَلَاثًا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ إِذَا جَامَعَهَا فَلَا خِيَارَ لَهَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالصَّوَابِ
