حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ 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 لِعَبَّاسٍ: «يَا عَبَّاسُ، أَلاَ تَعْجَبُ مِنْ حُبِّ مُغِيثٍ بَرِيرَةَ، وَمِنْ بُغْضِ بَرِيرَةَ مُغِيثًا؟» فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «لَوْ رَاجَعْتِهِ». قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا أَشْفَعُ». قَالَتْ: لاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ.

The husband of Barirah was a slave called Mughith. It is as though I can see him walking around behind her, weeping, with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet ﷺ said to Abbas: "O Abbas, are you not amazed at Mughith’s love for Barirah and Barirah’s dislike of Mughith?" Then the Prophet ﷺ said: "If only you would take him back." She said, “O Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me?” He said: "I am only interceding." She said, “I have no need of him.”
