سنن نسائی · Hadith 3489

Yahya bin Abi Bukair Al Karmani said: “Shu’bah narrated to us, from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Al Qasim, from his father, from ‘Aishah. He (Shu’bah) said: “And he (‘Abdur-Rahman) was the executor for his father.” He (Shu’bah) said: “I was afraid to say to him: ‘Did you hear this from your father.” — ‘Aishah said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم dr about Barirah, as I wanted to buy her but it was stipulated that the Wala’ would go to her (former) masters. He said: ‘Buy her, for the Wala’ is to the one who sets the slave free.’ And she was given the choice, as her husband was a slave.” Then he said, after that: “I do not know.” — “And some meat was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and they said: ‘This is some of that which was given in charity to Barlrah.’ He said: ‘It is charity for her and a gift for us.”(Sahih)
