Hadith 4
۞
Hadith.3497 - It is narrated from Ubaydullah ibn Ali al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah (as), who mentioned:
Barirah was married to a husband while she was still a slave. Then Aisha bought her and freed her.
The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, gave her the choice: if she wished, she could remain with her husband, and if she wished, she could separate from him.
Her former masters, who had sold her, had stipulated that her wala' (right of allegiance) should remain with them. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said
"The wala' belongs to the one who grants freedom."
Later, meat was given to Barirah as charity, and she gifted it to the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family.
Aisha, upon seeing it, commented: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) does not consume charity."
When the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, arrived and saw the meat hanging, he said: "What is the matter with this meat? Why has it not been cooked?"
Aisha replied: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), it was given to Barirah as charity, and you do not eat charity."
The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "It is charity for her, but for us, it is a gift."
Then He (sw) ordered it to be cooked.
Thus, three rulings (sunan) were derived from this case.
