3930. It was narrated from Hishām bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Aishah, who said: “Barīrah came seeking help to pay off her contract of manumission. She said: ‘I made a contract of manumission with my masters on the basis that I would pay nine Uqiyah, one Uqiyah every year; help me.’ She said: ‘If your masters would like me to pay it in one sum, and I manumit you, your Walā' will be mine, I will do so.’ She went to her masters...” and he quoted a Hadith like that of Az-Zuhri (no. 3928). (Sahih) At the end, he added to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: “What is the matter with men, one of whom says: ‘Manumit (the slave), O so-and-so, but the Walā' will belong to me?’ The Walā' belongs to the one who manumits the slave.”
