About Barirah mawla Aisha
Bareera mawla Aisha was a 7th-century Arab slave-girl who belonged to Utbah ibn Abu Lahab. When she was a slave, she was married to another slave whose name was Mughith, but annulled her marriage with him after she was freed from slavery. Mughith used to follow her, weeping for her not to divorce him whilst she rejected him. She had a child with him before they were divorced. Aisha never had any children and knew that those who set a slave free, to him belongs Walaa'. Walaa' is which a slave is emancipated by his or her owner, and then a kinship is made between the emancipator and the emancipated. Because Aisha always wanted a family, she wanted the Walaa' and freed Bareera for nine silver coins.
