The husband of Barirah was a slave called Mughith. It is as if I can see him walking behind her weeping, with the tears running down onto his beard. The Prophet [SAW] said to Al-'Abbas: "O 'Abbas, are you not amazed by the love of Mughith for Barirah and the hatred of Barirah for Mughith?" The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to her: "Why don't you take him back, for he is the father of your child?" She said: "O Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me (to do so)?" He said: "I am just interceding." She said: "I have no need of him." – Sound Chain

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَنْبَأََنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْحَذَّاءَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ كَانَ عَبْدًا

يُقَالُ لَهُ مُغِيثٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَطُوفُ خَلْفَهَا يَبْكِي وَدُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْعَبَّاسِ يَا عَبَّاسُ «أَلَا تَعْجَبُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ حُبِّ مُغِيثٍ بَرِيرَةَ وَمِنْ شِدَّةِ بُغْضِ بَرِيرَةَ مُغِيثًا» فَقَالَ لَهَا «لَوْ رَاجَعْتِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَبُو وَلَدِكِ» فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَنَا شَافِعٌ» قَالَتْ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ – إسناده صحيح
