2560. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها that Barīra came to seek her help in her writing of emancipation and she had to pay five Uqīya (of gold) by five yearly installments. 'Āishah said to her, "Do you think that if I pay the whole sum at once, your masters will sell you to me, and I will free you and your Walā'(1) will be for me." Barīra went to her masters and told them about that offer. They said that they would not agree to it unless her Walā' would be for them. 'Āishah further said, "I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and told him about it." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to her, "Buy Barīra and manumit her and the Walā' will be for the liberator." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then got up and said, "What about those people who stipulate conditions that are not present in Allāh's Laws? If anybody stipulates a condition which is not in Allāh's Laws, then what he stipulates is invalid. Allāh's Conditions (Laws) are the truth and are more solid."

2560 - وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: إِنَّ بَرِيرَةَ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا تَسْتَعِينُهَا فِي كِتَابَتِهَا، وَعَلَيْهَا خَمْسَةُ أَوَاقٍ نُجِّمَتْ عَلَيْهَا فِي خَمْسِ سِنِينَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ وَنَفِسَتْ فِيهَا: أَرَأَيْتِ إِنْ عَدَدْتُ لَهُمْ عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً أَيَبِيعُكِ أَهْلُكِ، فَأُعْتِقَكِ، فَيَكُونَ وَلاَؤُكِ لِي، فَذَهَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا، فَعَرَضَتْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: لاَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا الوَلاَءُ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اشْتَرِيهَا، فَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»، ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، مَنِ اشْتَرَطَ شَرْطًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ شَرْطُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ وَأَوْثَقُ» بَابُ مَا يَجُوزُ مِنْ شُرُوطِ المُكَاتَبِ، وَمَنِ اشْتَرَطَ شَرْطًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
