Sahih Muslim Book - 20, Hadith - 3782

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ. أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ مِنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ. وَاشْتَرَطُوا الْوَلاَءَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ وَلِىَ النِّعْمَةَ ». وَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا وَأَهْدَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ لَحْمًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لَوْ صَنَعْتُمْ لَنَا مِنْ هَذَا اللَّحْمِ ». قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ. فَقَالَ « هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ ».

It was narrated from 'Aishah that she bought Barirah from some people among the Ansar, and they stipulated that the right of inheritance would be theirs. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The right of inheritance belongs to the one who bestows the favor (manumits the slave)." And the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) gave her the choice, as her husband was a slave. And she gave some meat to 'Aishah as a gift, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Why don't you cook some of this meat for us?" 'Aishah said: "It was given in charity to Barirah." He said: "It is charity for her and a gift for us."
