Barira’s husband was a slave called Mughith, as if I am seeing him now, going behind Barira and
weeping with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet said to ‘Abbas, “O ‘Abbas ! are you not
astonished at the love of Mughith for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?” The Prophet then
said to Barira, “Why don’t you return to him?” She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do you order me to do
so?” He said, “No, I only intercede for him.” She said, “I am not in need of him.”
