It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that three cases arose regarding Barirah. Her owners wanted to sell her and make the inheritance conditional for themselves. I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Buy her and set her free, because the inheritance of a slave belongs to the one who sets him free. When she was freed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice to remain in the marriage or not, and she chose for herself (ended her marriage with her husband). Also, people used to give her something as charity, and she would give us some of it as a gift. I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is charity for her and a gift for you from her, so you may eat it.
