Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, he says: When Barirah was given the choice, I saw that her husband was following her in the streets of Madinah, and his tears were flowing down his beard. Someone spoke to Sayyiduna Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, to speak to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, about Barirah. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to her: "Barirah! This is your husband." Lady Barirah said: "O Messenger of Allah! Are you commanding me?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am only interceding." So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave her the choice, and she accepted this choice. Her husband was a slave of the family of Mughira.
