regarding the explanation of the Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in
a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was hiding himself at Mecca. At
that time, when he led his companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while reciting the Quran;
and if the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Quran, its Revealer, and the one who brought it. So
Allah said to His Prophet: "Neither say your prayer aloud. i.e., your recitation (of Quran) lest the
pagans should hear (it) and abuse the Quran" nor say it in a low tone, "lest your voice should fail to
reach your companions, "but follow a way between." (17.110)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 97, Hadith 150
Three traditions have been established because of Barira: `Aisha intended to buy her and set her free,
but Barira's masters said, "Her wala' will be for us." `Aisha mentioned that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who
said, "You could accept their condition if you wished, for the wala is for the one who manumits the
slave." Barira was manumitted, then she was given the choice either to stay with her husband or leave
him; One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered `Aisha's house while there was a cooking pot of food boiling on
the fire. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for lunch, and he was presented with bread and some extra food from the
home-made Udm (e.g. soup). He asked, "Don't I see meat (being cooked)?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's
Apostle! But it is the meat that has been given to Barira in charity and she has given it to us as a
present." He said, "For Barira it is alms, but for us it is a present."
