Sayyidah Ayshah (RA) repoted that the husband of Sayyidah Barirah (RA) was a slave. So, the Prophet ﷺ gave her a choice and she chose to be independent. Were he a free man, (His name was Mughith.) he would not have given her the choice. (His name was Mughith). [Muslim 1504, Abu Dawud 2233, Nisai 3448, Ibn e Majah 2521] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
