Barira's husband was a black slave called Mughith, the slave of Bani so-and-so-- as if I am seeing him
now, walking behind her along the streets of Medina.

Chapter 16: The intercession of the Prophet (saws) for Barira's husband. - كتاب الطلاق
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، 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 لِعَبَّاسٍ " يَا عَبَّاسُ أَلاَ تَعْجَبُ مِنْ حُبِّ مُغِيثٍ بَرِيرَةَ، وَمِنْ بُغْضِ بَرِيرَةَ مُغِيثًا ". فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَوْ رَاجَعْتِهِ ". قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ " إِنَّمَا أَنَا أَشْفَعُ ". قَالَتْ لاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ.
Barira's husband was a slave called Mughith, as if I am seeing him now, going behind Barira and
weeping with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to `Abbas, "O `Abbas ! are you not
astonished at the love of Mughith for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?" The Prophet (ﷺ) then
said to Barira, "Why don't you return to him?" She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you order me to do
so?" He said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I am not in need of him."

Chapter 17: Chapter - كتاب الطلاق
Narrated Al-Aswad:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ، بَرِيرَةَ، فَأَبَى مَوَالِيهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطُوا الْوَلاَءَ، فَذَكَرَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ". وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِلَحْمٍ فَقِيلَ إِنَّ هَذَا مَا تُصُدِّقَ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، فَقَالَ " هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ ".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَزَادَ فَخُيِّرَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا.
Aisha intended to buy Barira, but her masters stipulated that her wala wound be for them. Aisha mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said (to `Aisha), "Buy and manumit her, for the wala is for the one who manumits." Once some meat was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and was said, "This meat was given in charity to Barira. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is an object of charity for Barira and a gift for us."
Narrated Adam:
Shu`ba related the same Hadith and added: Barira was given the option regarding her husband.
Whenever Ibn `Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady or a Jewess, he would say: "Allah
has made it unlawful for the believers to marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to Allah, and I
do not know of a greater thing, as regards to ascribing partners in worship, etc. to Allah, than that a
lady should say that Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of Allah's slaves."
The pagans were of two kinds as regards their relationship to the
Prophet and the Believers. Some of them were those with whom the
Prophet was at war and used to fight against, and they used to fight
him; the others were those with whom the Prophet (ﷺ) made a treaty, and
neither did the Prophet (ﷺ) fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady
from the first group of pagans emigrated towards the Muslims, her hand
would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and then
became clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful for her to get
married, and if her husband emigrated too before she got married, then
she would be returned to him. If any slave or female slave emigrated
from them to the Muslims, then they would be considered free persons
(not slaves) and they would have the same rights as given to other
emigrants. The narrator then mentioned about the pagans involved with
the Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid's narration. If
a male slave or a female slave emigrated from such pagans as had made
a treaty with the Muslims, they would not be returned, but their
prices would be paid (to the pagans).
Qariba,
The daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.
'Umar divorced her and then Mu'awiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her.
Similarly, Um Al-Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan was the wife of
'Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Fihri. He divorced her and then 'Abdullah bin
'Uthman Al-Thaqafi married her.

(the wife of the Prophet) When believing women came to the Prophet (ﷺ) as emigrants, he used to test
them in accordance with the order of Allah. 'O you who believe! When believing women come to you
as emigrants, examine them . . .' (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women accepted the above
mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they agreed on those conditions and
confessed that with their tongues, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would say to them, "Go, I have accepted your oath
of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never touched the hand of any
woman, but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not
take the pledge of allegiance of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered him.
When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say to them, "I have accepted your oath of
allegiance."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took an oath that he would abstain from his wives, and at that time his leg had been
sprained (dislocated). So he stayed in the Mashruba (an attic room) of his for 29 days. Then he came
down, and they (the people) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You took an oath to abstain from your wives for
one month." He said, "The month is of twenty nine days."
Ibn `Umar used to say about the Ila (which Allah defined (in the Holy Book), "If the period of Ila
expires, then the husband has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or to divorce her as Allah
has ordered."
"When the period of four months has expired, the husband should be
put in prison so that he should divorce his wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the husband
himself declares it. This has been mentioned by `Uthman, `Ali, Abu Ad-Darda, `Aisha and twelve
other companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ."
(the Maula of Munba'ith) The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked regarding the case of a lost sheep. He said, "You
should take it, because it is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf." Then he was asked about a
lost camel. He got angry and his face became red and he said (to the questioner), "You have nothing to
do with it; it has its feet and its water container with it; it can go on drinking water and eating trees till
its owner meets it." And then the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about a Luqata (money found by somebody). He
said, "Remember and recognize its tying material and its container, and make public announcement
about it for one year. If somebody comes and identifies it (then give it to him), otherwise add it to
your property."

Abul Qasim (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) said, "There is an hour (or a moment) of
particular significance on Friday. If it happens that a Muslim is

moment, Allah will grant him his request." (The sub-narrator placed
the top of his finger on the palm of the other hand between the middle
finger and the little one.)

During the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a Jew attacked a girl and took
some silver ornaments she was wearing and crushed her head. Her
relative brought her to the Prophet (ﷺ) while she was in her last breaths,
and she was unable to speak. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked her, "Who has hit
you? So-and so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She
moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned another
person other than the murderer, and she again moved her head
indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it so-and-so?", mentioning the
name of her killer. She nodded, agreeing. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ);
ordered that the head of that Jew be crushed between two stones.

The narrator, Yazid, described (how dawn breaks) by stretching out his hands and then separating them wide apart.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, The example of a miser and a generous person is
like that of two persons wearing iron cloaks from the breast upto the
neck When the generous person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and
spread over his skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and
obliterates his tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he thinks of
spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place (against his
body) and he tries to expand it, but it does not expand. The Prophet (ﷺ)
pointed with his hand towards his throat.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Shall I tell you of the best families among the Ansar?" They (the people) said,

`Abdil Ash-hal, and after them are Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and after them are Banu Sa`ida."
The Prophet (ﷺ) then moved his hand by closing his fingers and then opening them like one throwing
something, and then said, "Anyhow, there is good in all the families of the Ansar. "
