It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), this is a long hadith, and among it was this: Sayyida Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the wife of a slave. When I (Aisha) set her free, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: You have been given the choice; if you wish, you may remain under the authority of that slave, and if you wish, you may separate.
