Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:11962 حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ أَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ 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 وَمَنْ شِدَّةِ بُغْضِ بَرِيرَةَ مُغِيثًا» فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَوْ رَاجَعْتِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَبُو وَلَدِكِ» قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَأْمُرُنِي؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَنَا شَافِعٌ» قَالَتْ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ
English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that the husband of Barirah was a slave named Mughith. It is as if I can see him following her, crying, with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to al-Abbas: 'O Abbas, are you not amazed at the intensity of Mughith's love for Barirah and the intensity of Barirah's hatred for Mughith?' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to her: 'Would you take him back? He is the father of your child.' She said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me?' He said: 'I am only interceding.' She said: 'I have no need for him.'
