6754. Narrated Al-Aswad: 'Aishah رضي الله عنها bought Barīra in order to manumit her, but her masters stipulated that her Walā' (after her death) would be for them. 'Aishah said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have bought Barīra in order to manumit her, but her masters stipulated that her Walā' will be for them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Manumit her, as the Walā' is for the one who manumits (the slave),” or said, “The one who pays her price.” Then ‘Āishah bought and manumitted her. After that, Barīra was given the choice (by the Prophet ﷺ) (to stay with her husband or leave him). She said, “If he gave me so much, and so much (money), I would not stay with him.” (Al-Aswad added: Her husband was a free man). The subnarrator added: The series of the narrators of Al-Aswad’s statement is not authentic. The statement of Ibn ‘Abbās, i.e., ‘When I saw him he was a slave,’ is more authentic.

6754 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، اشْتَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ لِتُعْتِقَهَا، وَاشْتَرَطَ أَهْلُهَا وَلاَءَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ بَرِيرَةَ لِأُعْتِقَهَا، وَإِنَّ أَهْلَهَا يَشْتَرِطُونَ وَلاَءَهَا، فَقَالَ: «أَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ» أَوْ قَالَ: «أَعْطَى الثَّمَنَ» قَالَ: فَاشْتَرَتْهَا فَأَعْتَقَتْهَا، قَالَ: وَخُيِّرَتْ فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا، وَقَالَتْ: لَوْ أُعْطِيتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا كُنْتُ مَعَهُ قَالَ الأَسْوَدُ: وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا " قَوْلُ الأَسْوَدِ مُنْقَطِعٌ. وَقَوْلُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: رَأَيْتُهُ عَبْدًا، أَصَحُّ "
