English translation
456. Narrated ‘Aīshah رضي الله عنها Barira came to seek my help regarding her manumission. I told her, “If you like I would pay your price to your masters but your Al-Walā(1) would be for me.” Her masters said, “If you like, you can pay what remains (of the price of her manumission), (Sufyān the subnarrator once said), or if you like you can manumit her, but her Al-Walā would be for us.” When Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ came, I spoke to him about it. He said, “Buy her and manumit her. No doubt Al-Walā is for the manumitter.” Then Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ stood on the pulpit (or Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ ascended the pulpit as Sufyān once said) and said, “What about some people who impose conditions which are not present in Allāh’s Book (Laws)? Whoever imposes conditions which are not in Allāh’s Book (Laws), his conditions will be invalid even if he imposed them a hundred times.”
