ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2075
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The husband of Barirah was a slave called Mughith. It is as if I can see him now, walking behind her and weeping, with tears running down his cheeks. The Prophet P.B.U.H said to 'Abbas: '0 'Abbas, are you not amazed by the love of Mughith for Barirah, and, the hatred of Barirah for Mughith? And the Prophet P.B.U.H said to her: 'Why don't you take him back, for he is the father of your child?' She said: '0 Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me (to do so)?' He said: 'No, rather I am interceding,' She said: 'I have no need of him:" (Sahih)
