Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ مِنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَاشْتَرَطُوا الْوَلاَءَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ وَلِيَ النِّعْمَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا وَأَهْدَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ لَحْمًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لَوْ وَضَعْتُمْ لَنَا مِنْ هَذَا اللَّحْمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Qasim bin Zakariyya bin Dinar informed us; Husayn narrated to us, from Za'idah, from Simak, from Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim, from his father, from A'ishah, who bought Barirah from some people of the Ansar, and they stipulated that loyalty would belong to them. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Loyalty belongs to the one who bestows the favor.’ The Messenger of Allah gave her the choice, while her husband was an enslaved man. She gave A'ishah some meat as a gift. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘If only you had set some of this meat aside for us.’ A'ishah said, ‘It was given in charity to Barirah.’ He said, ‘It is charity for her and a gift for us.’
