[Machine] "He ﷺ bought her and emancipated her, for verily the reward goes to the one who emancipates. She said: Bring forth meat. He said: What is this? They replied: Burayrah gave us this as a sadaqah (charitable gift), so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Both of us have a gift. She said: I have been given a choice, and her husband was a free man. Shu'bah said: Then I asked him afterwards, and he said: I do not know whether he was a free man or a slave. Shu'bah said: So I said to Simak bin Harb: I am afraid to ask him about the chain of narration, so you ask him. He said: When I mentioned this to him, he said: Your father narrated this from Aisha? He said: Abdul Rahman replied: Yes. Then when he left, Simak said to me: O Shu'bah, I am certain about him for you."  

اللهِ ﷺ اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ قَالَتْ وَأُتِيَ بِلَحْمٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا هَذَا أَهْدَتْهُ إِلَيْنَا بَرِيرَةُ تُصُدِّقَ بِهَا عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ قَالَتْ وَخُيِّرَتْ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي أَحُرٌّ هُوَ أَمْ عَبْدٌ؟ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِسِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ إِنِّي أَتَّقِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنِ الْإِسْنَادِ فَسَلْهُ أَنْتَ قَالَ وَكَانَ فِي خَلْقِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ سِمَاكٌ بَعْدَمَا حَدَّثَ أَحَدَّثَكَ هَذَا أَبُوكَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ نَعَمْ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ لِي سِمَاكٌ يَا شُعْبَةُ اسْتَوْثَقْتُهُ لَكَ مِنْهُ
