Intercession
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قصة بريرة وزوجها. قَالَ: قَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَوْ رَاجَعْتِهِ؟" قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ : "إِنَّمَا أَشْفَعُ" قَالَتْ: لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ. ((رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ)).
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah bepleased with them), reported in connection with the case of Barirah (May Allah bepleased with her) and her husband: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "It is better for you to go back to your husband." She asked: "O Messenger of Allah, do you order me to do so." He replied, "I only intercede" She then said: "I have no need for him". [Al-Bukhari].
