Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ كَانَ عَبْدًا أَسْوَدَ يُسَمَّى مُغِيثًا قَالَ فَكُنْتُ أَرَاهُ يَتْبَعُهَا فِي سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَعْصِرُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ وَقَضَى فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعَ قَضِيَّاتٍ إِنَّ مَوَالِيَهَا اشْتَرَطُوا الْوَلَاءَ فَقَضَى النَّبِيّ
ُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ وَخَيَّرَهَا فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ قَالَ وَتُصُدِّقَ عَلَيْهَا بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَهْدَتْ مِنْهَا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَإِلَيْنَا هَدِيَّةٌ

'Affan narrated to us, Hammam narrated to us, he said Qatadah informed us, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) that the husband of Barirah was a black slave named Mughith. He said: I used to see him following her in the streets of Madinah, weeping, with his tears flowing down his beard. the Prophet ﷺ said to al-'Abbas (رضي الله عنه): 'O 'Abbas, are you not amazed at how much Mughith loves Barirah, and how much Barirah dislikes Mughith?' the Prophet ﷺ said to her: 'Would you not take him back?' She said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me?' He said: 'I am only interceding.' She said: 'I have no need of him.'
