Sahih al-Bukhari 5279 (Book 68, Hadith 28) #5057
Traditions Established Concerning Barra

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the traditions established concerning situations in which Barra was involved, such as when she was manumitted and when meat was given to her in charity.

Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Three traditions were established concerning situations in which Barra was involved: When she was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband or leave him; Allah's Messenger said, "The wala is for the one who manumits, Once Allah's Messenger entered the house while some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only bread and some soup of the house were placed before, him. He said, "Don't I see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat was given to Barirah in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what it given in charity".The Prophet said "That meat is alms for her, but for us it is a present".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلاَثُ سُنَنٍ، إِحْدَى السُّنَنِ أَنَّهَا أُعْتِقَتْ، فَخُيِّرَتْ فِي زَوْجِهَا‏.‏ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالْبُرْمَةُ تَفُورُ بِلَحْمٍ، فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ خُبْزٌ وَأُدْمٌ مِنْ أُدْمِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَمْ أَرَ الْبُرْمَةَ فِيهَا لَحْمٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى، وَلَكِنْ ذَلِكَ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، وَأَنْتَ لاَ تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses three traditions that were established concerning situations involving Barra. The first tradition is that when she was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband or leave him. Manumission is a process where a slave is freed from slavery and granted their freedom. The second tradition discussed in this hadith is that Allah's Messenger ﷺ entered a house while some meat was being cooked in a pot but only bread and soup were placed before him. He asked if he could see the pot containing meat and they said it had been given to Barirah as charity by someone else, so he said that it should be considered alms for her but for them it should be considered a present instead of charity. This shows us how generous Allah's Messenger ﷺwas towards those who were less fortunate than himself and how important it is to give charity to those who need it most. Finally, this hadith also teaches us about justice; even though Barra may have been enslaved at one point, she still has rights like everyone else does and deserves respect regardless of her social status or financial situation.
