2564. Narrated 'Amra bint 'Abdur-Raḥmān: Barīra went to 'Āishah, the Mother of the faithful believers رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا to seek her help in her emancipation. 'Āishah said to her, "If your masters agree, I will pay them your price in a lump sum and manumit you." Barīra mentioned that offer to her masters but they refused to sell her unless the Walā' will be for them. 'Āishah told Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about it. He said, "Buy and manumit her as the Walā' is for the liberator."

2564 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَاءَتْ تَسْتَعِينُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ المُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلُكِ أَنْ أَصُبَّ لَهُمْ ثَمَنَكِ صَبَّةً وَاحِدَةً، فَأُعْتِقَكِ، فَعَلْتُ، فَذَكَرَتْ بَرِيرَةُ ذَلِكَ لِأَهْلِهَا، فَقَالُوا: لاَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ وَلاَؤُكِ لَنَا، قَالَ مَالِكٌ: قَالَ يَحْيَى: فَزَعَمَتْ عَمْرَةُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»
