أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ الْكَرْمَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - قَالَ وَكَانَ وَصِيَّ أَبِيهِ قَالَ وَفَرِقْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ، سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، أَبِيكَ - قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ بَرِيرَةَ وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهَا وَاشْتُرِطَ الْوَلاَءُ لأَهْلِهَا فَقَالَ " اشْتَرِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْوَلاَءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ " . قَالَ وَخُيِّرَتْ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَا أَدْرِي وَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِلَحْمٍ . فَقَالُوا هَذَا مِمَّا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ . قَالَ " هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ " .
Muhammad bin Isma'il bin Ibrahim informed us; Yahya bin Abi Bukayr al-Karmani narrated to us; Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim, from his father, from A'ishah. The narrator said: He was his father's executor, and he was wary of saying, ‘I heard it from your father.’ A'ishah said: I asked the Messenger of Allah about Barirah, and I wanted to buy her, while loyalty was to be stipulated for her owners. He said, ‘Buy her, for loyalty belongs to the one who grants emancipation.’ She was given the choice, and her husband was an enslaved man. Then he later said, ‘I do not know.’ The Messenger of Allah was brought some meat, and they said, ‘This is some of what was given in charity to Barirah.’ He said, ‘It is charity for her and a gift for us.’
