Three traditions have been established because of Barira: ʿAisha intended to buy her and set her free, but Barira's masters said, "Her wala' will be for us." ʿAisha mentioned that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "You could accept their condition if you wished, for the wala is for the one who manumits the slave." Barira was manumitted, then she was given the choice either to stay with her husband or leave him; One day Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered ʿAisha's house while there was a cooking pot of food boiling on the fire. The Prophet ﷺ asked for lunch, and he was presented with bread and some extra food from the home-made Udm (e.g. soup). He asked, "Don't I see meat (being cooked)?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! But it is the meat that has been given to Barira in charity and she has given it to us as a present." He said, "For Barira it is alms, but for us it is a present."
