English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: The husband of Barirah was a black slave called Mughith. Ibn Abbas said: 'I used to see him in the streets of Madinah squeezing his eyes (weeping).' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ruled regarding her with four matters: Her former masters stipulated the right of patronage, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) ruled: 'Patronage belongs to the one who frees.' He gave her the choice, and she chose herself. He ordered her to observe the waiting period. She was given charity, and she gifted some to Aisha. Aisha asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'It is charity for her and a gift for us.'
