English translation
2565. Narrated 'Abdul Wāhid bin Aiman: I went to 'Āishah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا and said, "I was the slave of Utba bin Abū Lahab. 'Utba died and his sons became my masters who sold me to Ibn Abū 'Amr who manumitted me. The sons of 'Utba stipulated that my Walā' should be for them." 'Āishah said, "Barīra came to me and she was given the writing of emancipation by her masters and she asked me to buy and manumit her. I agreed to it, but Barīra told me that her masters would not sell her unless her Walā' will be for them." 'Āishah said, "I am not in need of that." When the Prophet ﷺ heard that, or he was told about it, he asked 'Āishah about it. 'Āishah mentioned what Barīra had told her. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Buy and manumit her and let them stipulate whatever they like.” So, ‘Aīshah bought and manumitted her and her masters stipulated that her Walā’ should be for them. The Prophet ﷺ said, “The Walā’ will be for the liberator even if they stipulated a hundred conditions.”
