2726. Narrated Aiman Al-Makkī: When I visited ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها she said, “Barīra who had a written contract for her emancipation for a certain amount came to me and said, ‘O Mother of the believers! Buy me and manumit me, as my masters will sell me.’ ‘Āishah agreed to it. Barīra said, ‘My masters will sell me on the condition that my Walā’(1) will go to them.’ ‘Āishah said to her, ‘Then I am not in need of you.’ The Prophet ﷺ heard of that, or was told about it and so he asked ‘Āishah, ‘What is the problem of did not give any yield, so we were forbidden (by the Prophet ﷺ) to follow such a system, but we were allowed to rent the land for money.

2726 - حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَيْمَنَ المَكِّيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ بَرِيرَةُ وَهِيَ مُكَاتَبَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أُمَّ المُؤْمِنِينَ اشْتَرِينِي، فَإِنَّ أَهْلِي يَبِيعُونِي، فَأَعْتِقِينِي قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَتْ: إِنَّ أَهْلِي لاَ يَبِيعُونِي حَتَّى يَشْتَرِطُوا وَلاَئِي، قَالَتْ: لاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيكِ، فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَوْ بَلَغَهُ - فَقَالَ: «مَا شَأْنُ بَرِيرَةَ؟»، فَقَالَ: «اشْتَرِيهَا، فَأَعْتِقِيهَا وَلْيَشْتَرِطُوا مَا شَاءُوا»، قَالَتْ: فَاشْتَرَيْتُهَا، فَأَعْتَقْتُهَا وَاشْتَرَطَ أَهْلُهَا وَلاَءَهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ، وَإِنِ اشْتَرَطُوا مِائَةَ شَرْطٍ» بَابُ الشُّرُوطِ فِي الطَّلاَقِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ المُسَيِّبِ، وَالحَسَنُ، وَعَطَاءٌ: «إِنْ بَدَا بِالطَّلاَقِ، أَوْ أَخَّرَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِشَرْطِهِ»
