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.”

3930 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْ بَرِيرَةُ لِتَسْتَعِينَ فِي كِتَابَتِهَا فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي كَاتَبْتُ أَهْلِي عَلَى تِسْعِ أَوَاقٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ أُوقِيَّةٌ، فَأَعِينِينِي، فَقَالَتْ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلُكِ أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَعْتِقَكِ وَيَكُونَ وَلَاؤُكِ لِي فَعَلْتُ، فَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَ الزُّهْرِيِّ، زَادَ فِي كَلَامِ النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم فِي آخِرِهِ " مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمْ: أَعْتِقْ يَا فُلَانُ وَالْوَلَاءُ لِي، إِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ "
