Hadith text

Narrated Al-Aswad:Aisha said, "I bought Barira and her masters stipulated that the Wala would be for them." Aisha mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, "Manumit her, as the Wala is for the one who gives the silver (i.e. pays the price for freeing the slave)." Aisha added, "So I manumitted her. After that, the Prophet caller her (Barira) and gave her the choice to go back to her husband or not. She said, "If he gave me so much and so much (money) I would not stay with him." So she selected her ownself (i.e. refused to go back to her husband)

Al-Aswad bataate hain: Aisha ne kaha, 'Maine Barira ko khareeda aur unke maalikon ne shart rakhi ke Wala' unke paas rahega.' Aisha ne ye baat Nabi (SAW) ko bataayi aur unhone kaha, 'Unhein azaad kar do, kyunke Wala' us shaks ke liye hai jo chaandi deta hai (yaani ghulaam ko azaad karne ke liye keemat adaa karta hai).' Aisha ne izaafa kiya, 'To maine unhein azaad kar diya. Iske baad, Nabi (SAW) ne unhein (Barira ko) bulaaya aur unhein apne shohar ke paas wapas jaane ya na jaane ka ikhtiyaar diya. Unhone kaha, "Agar wo mujhe itna aur itna (paisa) de, main uske saath nahi rahoongi." To unhone apna faisla khud liya (yaani apne shohar ke paas wapas jaane se inkaar kiya).'
