I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Barirah, as I wanted to buy her, but her owners stipulated that the right of guardianship would remain with them. He said, "Buy her, for the right of guardianship belongs to the one who frees the slave."He said, She was given the choice, and her husband was a slave. Then he said afterwards, "I do not know."Some meat was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they said, "This is from what was given in charity to Barirah."He said, "It is charity for her and a gift for us."

سألت رسول الله ﷺ عن بريرة وأردت أن أشتريها واشترط الولاء لأهلها فقال اشتريها فإن الولاء لمن أعتق قال وخيرت وكان زوجها عبدا ثم قال بعد ذلك ما أدري وأتي رسول الله ﷺ بلحم فقالوا هذا مما تصدق به على بريرة قال هو لها صدقة ولنا هدية
