Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Three rulings were made regarding Barirah: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice regarding her husband. Her masters stipulated the condition of wala', so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wala' belongs to the one who sets free." Meat that had been given as charity to Barirah was gifted to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was charity for her, and it is a gift for us."
