أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ زَوْجَ، بَرِيرَةَ كَانَ عَبْدًا يُقَالُ لَهُ مُغِيثٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَطُوفُ خَلْفَهَا يَبْكِي وَدُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلْعَبَّاسِ " يَا عَبَّاسُ أَلاَ تَعْجَبُ مِنْ حُبِّ مُغِيثٍ بَرِيرَةَ وَمِنْ بُغْضِ بَرِيرَةَ مُغِيثًا " . فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَوْ رَاجَعْتِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَبُو وَلَدِكِ " . قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَأْمُرُنِي . قَالَ " إِنَّمَا أَنَا شَفِيعٌ " . قَالَتْ فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ .
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that Barirah’s husband was a slave named Mughith. I can almost see him walking behind her, weeping, with tears running down his beard. The Prophet said to Al-Abbas, ‘Are you not amazed at Mughith’s love for Barirah and Barirah’s aversion to Mughith?’ The Prophet said to her, ‘Would you take him back? He is the father of your child.’ She asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, are you ordering me to do so?’ He said, ‘I am only interceding.’ She replied, ‘I have no need of him.’
