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."

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 wanted to buy Barirah in order to manumit her, but they (her owners) stipulated conditions about the right of inheritance. She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he said: "Buy her and manumit her, for the right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave)." Some meat was given to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) as a gift, and they said to the Prophet (s.a.w): "This was given in charity to Barirah." He said: "It is charity for her but it is a gift for us." And she was given the choice. 'Abdur-Rahman (a narrator) said: "Her husband was a free man." Shu'bah said: "Then I asked him about her husband, and he said: 'I do not know."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِىَ بَرِيرَةَ لِلْعِتْقِ فَاشْتَرَطُوا وَلاَءَهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ « اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْوَلاَءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ». وَأُهْدِىَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَحْمٌ فَقَالُوا لِلنَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- هَذَا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ.فَقَالَ « هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ ». وَخُيِّرَتْ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَ لاَ أَدْرِى.

It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), that she said: "Three rulings were established concerning Barirah: She was given the choice about her husband when she was manumitted; some meat was given to her and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) entered upon me when the earthen pot was on the fire. He called for some food, and some bread, and ordinary condiments were brought to him. He said: 'Do I not see an earthen pot on the fire with meat in it?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah; that is meat that was given in charity to Barirah and we did not want to give some to you.' He said: 'It is charity for her but it is a gift from her to us.'" And the Prophet (s.a.w) said concerning her: 'The right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave).'"

وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ فِى بَرِيرَةَ ثَلاَثُ سُنَنٍ خُيِّرَتْ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا حِينَ عَتَقَتْ وَأُهْدِىَ لَهَا لَحْمٌ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَالْبُرْمَةُ عَلَى النَّارِ فَدَعَا بِطَعَامٍ فَأُتِىَ بِخُبْزٍ وَأُدُمٍ مِنْ أُدُمِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ « أَلَمْ أَرَ بُرْمَةً عَلَى النَّارِ فِيهَا لَحْمٌ ». فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُطْعِمَكَ مِنْهُ. فَقَالَ « هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَهُوَ مِنْهَا لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ ». وَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِيهَا « إِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "'Aishah wanted to buy Barirah and manumit her, but her masters insisted that the right of inheritance should be theirs. She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he said: 'Do not let that stop you, for the right of inheritance belongs to the one who manumits (the slave).'"

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنِى سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَرَادَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَنْ تَشْتَرِىَ جَارِيَةً تُعْتِقُهَا فَأَبَى أَهْلُهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْوَلاَءُ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ « لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكِ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ».

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) dictated the blood money to be paid by each tribe, then he dictated: 'It is not permissible for a Muslim to become the Mawla of a slave who has been manumitted by a Muslim man, without his permission.' Then I was told that in his Sahifah (a letter), he cursed the on.e who did that.''

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ كَتَبَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى كُلِّ بَطْنٍ عُقُولَهُ ثُمَّ كَتَبَ « أَنَّهُ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَتَوَالَى مَوْلَى رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ ». ثُمَّ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّهُ لَعَنَ فِى صَحِيفَتِهِ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever takes people as Mawla without the permission of the those who set him free, upon him will be the curse of Allah and the Angels, and no Sarf nor 'Adl will be accepted from him."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِىَّ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَنْ تَوَلَّى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ عَدْلٌ وَلاَ صَرْفٌ ».

It was narrated from Ibrahim At-Taimi that his father said: '"Ali bin Abi Talib addressed us and said: 'Whoever claims that we have something that we recite apart from the Book of Allah and this Sahifah' - a document that was hanging from the sheath of his sword - 'is lying. In it are the ages of camels and rulings concerning injuries, and in it the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Al-Madinah is sacred, the area between 'Ayr and Thawr. Whoever introduces any Hadith or gives refuge to a Muhdith, upon him will be the curse of Allah, the Angels and all the people, and on the Day of Resurrection Allah will not accept any Sarf nor 'Adl from him. Protection granted by one Muslim is binding upon all of them, and may be given by the humblest of them. Whoever claims to belong to someone other than his father or to belong to someone other than his Mawla, upon him be the curse of Allah, the Angels and all the people, and on the Day of Resurrection Allah will not accept any Sarf nor 'Adl from him."

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِىِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا شَيْئًا نَقْرَأُهُ إِلاَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةَ - قَالَ وَصَحِيفَةٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فِى قِرَابِ سَيْفِهِ - فَقَدْ كَذَبَ. فِيهَا أَسْنَانُ الإِبِلِ وَأَشْيَاءُ مِنَ الْجِرَاحَاتِ وَفِيهَا قَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْرٍ إِلَى ثَوْرٍ فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلاَ عَدْلاً وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ يَسْعَى بِهَا أَدْنَاهُمْ وَمَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ أَوِ انْتَمَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلاَ عَدْلاً ».

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Whoever frees a believing slave, Allah will ransom each of his limbs from the Fire for each of his (the slave's) limbs."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِى هِنْدٍ - حَدَّثَنِى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِى حَكِيمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ ابْنِ مَرْجَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً أَعْتَقَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ إِرْبٍ مِنْهَا إِرْبًا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ».

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever frees a believing slave, Allah will ransom each of his limbs from the Fire for each of his (the slave's) limbs, even his private part for his private part."

وَحَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُطَرِّفٍ أَبِى غَسَّانَ الْمَدَنِىِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ ابْنِ مَرْجَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً أَعْتَقَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهَا عُضْوًا مِنْ أَعْضَائِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ حَتَّى فَرْجَهُ بِفَرْجِهِ ».

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Marjanah - the companion of 'Ali bin Husain - who said: "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Any Muslim who frees another Muslim, Allah will save each of his limbs from the Fire for each of his (the slave's) limbs." He said: "When I heard this Hadith from Abu Hurairah, I went and mentioned it to 'Ali bin Al-Husain and he manumitted a slave of his for whom Ibn Ja'far was prepared to pay ten thousand Dirham - or one thousand Dinars."
