Yahya related to me from Malik, from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn
Muhammad, that Amra bint 'Abd ar-Rahman told him that Ziyad ibn Abi
Sufyan once wrote to A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, saying, "'Abdullah ibn Abbas said that
whatever was haram for some one doing hajj was also haram for some one
who sent a sacrificial animal until the animal was sacrificed. I have
sent one, so write and tell me what you say about this, or tell the
man in charge of the animal what to do.
Amra said that A'isha
said, "It is notas Ibn Abbas has said. I once plaited the garlands for
the sacrificial animal of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, with my own two hands. Then after that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, himself
put the garlands on the animal and then sent it with my father. And
there was nothing that Allah had made halal forthe Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that was haram for him until
such time as the animal had been sacrificed."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 53
When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin after embracing Islam, came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), he got up.
They appealed to him to return their properties and their captives. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "The
most beloved statement to me is the true one. So, you have the option of restoring your properties or
your captives, for I have delayed distributing them." The narrator added, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) c had been
waiting for them for more than ten days on his return from Taif. When they realized that Allah's
Apostle would return to them only one of two things, they said, "We choose our captives." So, Allah's
Apostle got up in the gathering of the Muslims, praised Allah as He deserved, and said, "Then after!
These brethren of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their captives
to them. So, whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you
wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first booty which Allah will give us then he
can do so." The people replied, "We agree to give up our shares willingly as a favor for Allah's
Apostle." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We don't know who amongst you has agreed and who hasn't. Go
back and your chiefs may tell us your opinion." So, all of them returned and their chiefs discussed the
matter with them and then they (i.e. their chiefs) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to tell him that they (i.e. the
people) had given up their shares gladly and willingly.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 40, Hadith 8
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."
