أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ حِينَ أَعْتَقَتْهَا عَائِشَةُ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَحُضُّهَا عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَتْ تَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلَيْسَ لِي أَنْ أُفَارِقَهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى» قَالَتْ فَقَدْ فَارَقْتُهُ – إسناده صحيح
