Volume 8, Book 80, Number 743:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I bought Barira (a female slave). The Prophet said (to me), “Buy her as the Wala’ is for the manu –
mitted.” Once she was given a sheep (in charity). The Prophet said, “It (the sheep) is a charitable gift
for her (Barira) and a gift for us.” Al-Hakam said, “Barira’s husband was a free man.” Ibn ‘Abbas said,
‘When I saw him, he was a slave.”
