English

[3786] 14 – ( … ) It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet , that she said: "Three rulings were established concerning BarIrah: She was given the choice about her husband when she was manumitted; some meat was given to her and the Messenger of Allah entered upon me when the earthen pot was on the fire. He called for some food, and some bread, and ordinary condiments were brought to him. He said: 'Do I not see an earthen pot on the fire with meat in it?' They said: 'Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah; that is meat that was given in charity to BarIrah and we did not want to give some to you.' He said: 'It is charity for her but it is a gift from her to us." And the Prophet said concerning her: 'The right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave)."
