Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Three traditions were established concerning situations in which Barra
was involved: When she was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband or leave
him; Allah's Apostle said, "The wala is for the one who manumits, Once Allah's Apostle entered the
house while some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only bread and some soup of the house were
placed before, him. He said, "Don't I see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat was
given to Barira in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what it given in charity."The Prophet said
"That meat is alms for her, but for us it is a present."
