Volume 7, Book 62, Number 34:
Narrated ‘Aisha :
Three principles were established because of Barira: (i) When Banra was manumitted she was giv –
en the option (to remain with her slave husband or not). (ii) Allah’s Apostle said “The Wala of the
slave) is for the one who manumits (the slave). (iii) When Allah’s Apostle entered (the house), he saw
a cooking pot on the fire but he was given bread and meat soup from the soup of the home. The
Prophet said, “Didn’t I see the cooking pot (on the fire)?” It was said, “That is the meat given in charity
to Barira, and you do not eat the (things given in) charity.” The Prophet said, “It is an object of charity
for Barira, and it is a present for us.”
