English

[3781] 10 – ( … ) It was narrated that 'Aihah said: "Three rulings were given concerning BarIrah. Her masters wanted to sell her but they stipulated that the right of inheritance would be theirs. I mentioned that to the Prophet and he said: 'Buy her and manumit her, for the right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave)." She said: "Then she was manumitted, and the Messenger of Allah gave her the choice, 1' and she chose herself. And the people used to give her charity and she would give us gifts. I mentioned that to the Prophet and he said: 'It is charity for her, but it is a gift for you, so eat it."
