2717. Narrated 'Urwa: 'Aishah رضي الله عنها told me that Barīra came to seek her help in writing for emancipation and at that time she had not paid any part of her price. 'Aishah said to her, "Go to your masters and if they agree that I will pay your price (and free you) on condition that your Walā' will be for me, I will pay the money." Barira told her masters about that, but they refused, and said, "If 'Aishah wants to do a favour she could, but your Walā' will be for us." 'Aishah informed Allāh's Messenger ﷺ of that and he ﷺ said to her, "Buy and manumit Barīra as the Walā' will go to the manumitter."

2717 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَاءَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَسْتَعِينُهَا فِي كِتَابَتِهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَضَتْ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهَا شَيْئًا، قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ: ارْجِعِي إِلَى أَهْلِكِ، فَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ أَقْضِيَ عَنْكِ كِتَابَتَكِ وَيَكُونَ وَلاَؤُكِ لِي فَعَلْتُ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا فَأَبَوْا، وَقَالُوا: إِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تَحْتَسِبَ عَلَيْكِ، فَلْتَفْعَلْ وَيَكُونَ لَنَا وَلاَؤُكِ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ابْتَاعِي، فَأَعْتِقِي، فَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»
