‘Aisha bought Barira in order to manumit her, but her masters stipulated that her Wala’ (after her
death) would be for them. ‘Aisha said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have bought Barira in order to manumit
her, but her masters stipulated that her Wala’ will be for them.” The Prophet said, “Manumit her as
the Wala is for the one who manumits (the slave),” or said, “The one who pays her price.” Then ‘Aisha
bought and manumitted her. After that, Barira was given the choice (by the Prophet) (to stay with
her husband or leave him). She said, “If he gave me so much and so much (money) I would not stay
with him.” (Al-Aswad added: Her husband was a free man.) The sub-narrator added: The series of
the narrators of Al-Aswad’s statement is incomplete. The statement of Ibn Abbas, i.e., when I saw him
he was a slave, is more authentic.
