Aisha said, "I bought Barira and her masters stipulated that the Wala would be for them." Aishamentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, "Manumit her, as the Wala is for the one who gives thesilver (i.e. pays the price for freeing the slave)." Aisha added, "So I manumitted her. After that, theProphet caller her (Barira) and gave her the choice to go back to her husband or not. She said, "If hegave me so much and so much (money) I would not stay with him." So she selected her ownself (i.e.refused to go back to her husband)."
