(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 (ﷺ) said, “The wala is for the one who manumits, Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Barira in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what it given in charity.”The Prophet (ﷺ) said “That
meat is alms for her, but for us it is a present.”

I saw him as a slave, (namely, Barira’s husband).

The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I do not blame Thabit for any defects in his character or
his religion, but I cannot endure to live with him.” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Will you return his
garden to him?” She said, “Yes.”

The wife of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion, but I am afraid that I (being a Muslim)
may become unthankful for Allah’s Blessings.” On that, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said (to her), ‘Will you return
his garden to him?” She said, “Yes.” So she returned his garden to him and the Prophet (ﷺ) told him to
divorce her.

that Jamila… Then he related the whole ,Hadith, (i.e. 199).

The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I do not blame Thabit
for defects in his character or his religion, but I, being a Muslim, dislike to behave in un-Islamic
manner (if I remain with him).” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said (to her), “Will you give back the garden
which your husband has given you (as Mahr)?” She said, “Yes.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Thabit, “O
Thabit! Accept your garden, and divorce her once.”

The sister of `Abdullah bin Ubai narrated (the above narration, 197) with the addition that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said to Thabit’s wife, “Will you return his garden?” She said, “Yes,” and returned it, and (then) the
Prophet ordered Thabit to divorce her.

A man from Bani Aslam came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet (ﷺ) )
saying, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse.” On that the Prophet (ﷺ) turned
his face from him to the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet (ﷺ)
had turned his face, and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse.” The
Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon the man moved to the side towards
which the Prophet (ﷺ) had turned his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face (from
him) to the other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So
when the man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet (ﷺ) called him and said, “Are you
insane?” He replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then said (to his companions), “Go and stone him to death.”
The man was a married one. Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him.
We stoned him at the Musalla (`Id praying place) in Medina. When the stones hit him with their sharp
edges, he fled, but we caught him at Al-Harra and stoned him till he died.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was fond of honey and sweet edible things and (it was his habit) that after finishing
the `Asr prayer he would visit his wives and stay with one of them at that time. Once he went to
Hafsa, the daughter of `Umar and stayed with her more than usual. I got jealous and asked the reason
for that. I was told that a lady of her folk had given her a skin filled with honey as a present, and that
she made a syrup from it and gave it to the Prophet (ﷺ) to drink (and that was the reason for the delay). I
said, “By Allah we will play a trick on him (to prevent him from doing so).” So I said to Sa`da bint
Zam`a “The Prophet (ﷺ) will approach you, and when he comes near you, say: ‘Have you taken Maghafir
(a bad-smelling gum)?’ He will say, ‘No.’ Then say to him: ‘Then what is this bad smell which i smell
from you?’ He will say to you, ‘Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.’ Then say: Perhaps the bees of that
honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al-`Urfut.’ I shall also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the
same.” Later Sa`da said, “By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) stood at the door, I was about to say
to him what you had ordered me to say because I was afraid of you.” So when the Prophet (ﷺ) came near
Sa`da, she said to him, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you taken Maghafir?” He said, “No.” She said.
“Then what is this bad smell which I detect on you?” He said, “Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.”
She said, “Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice of Al-`Urfut tree.” When he came to me, I also said
the same, and when he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when the Prophet (ﷺ) again went to
Hafsa, she said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I give you more of that drink?” He said, “I am not in need of
it.” Sa`da said, “By Allah, we deprived him (of it).” I said to her, “Keep quiet.” ‘

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah has forgiven my followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long
as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered.” And Qatada said, “If someone divorces his wife
just in his mind, such an unuttered divorce has no effect.:
