It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), that she said: "Barirah came to me and said: 'O 'Aishah, I have made a contract of manumission with my masters, for nine Uqiyahs, one Uqiyah each year..."' a Hadith like that of Al-Laith (no. 3777). And he added: "He(s.a.w) said: 'Do not let that stop you; buy her and manumit her."' And he (a narrator) said in the Hadith: "Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood up before the people and praised and glorified Allah, then he said: "To proceed."
