حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ مُغِيثًا، كَانَ عَبْدًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اشْفَعْ لِي إِلَيْهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يَا بَرِيرَةُ اتَّقِي اللَّهَ فَإِنَّهُ زَوْجُكِ وَأَبُو وَلَدِكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَأْمُرُنِي بِذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا شَافِعٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَكَانَ دُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى خَدِّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلْعَبَّاسِ ‏"‏أَلاَ تَعْجَبُ مِنْ حُبِّ مُغِيثٍ بَرِيرَةَ وَبُغْضِهَا إِيَّاهُ ‏"
Translation

Mughith was a slave, and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, intercede for me with her." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "O Barirah, fear Allah, for he is your husband and the father of your child." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me to do so?" He said, "No, I am only interceding." His tears were flowing down his cheeks, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to al-Abbas, "Are you not amazed at the love of Mughith for Barirah and her hatred for him?"
