2729. Narrated 'Urwa: 'Aīshah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا said, "Barīra came to me and said, 'My people (masters) have written the contract for my emancipation for nine Awaq (of gold) to be paid in yearly installments, one Uqāya per year; so help me.''" 'Aīshah said (to her), Barīra?' He said, 'Buy her and manumit her, no matter what they stipulate.' 'Aishah added, 'I bought and manumitted her, though her masters had stipulated that her Walā' would be for them.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The Walā is for the liberator, even if the other stipulated a hundred conditions.'"

2729 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْنِي بَرِيرَةُ فَقَالَتْ: كَاتَبْتُ أَهْلِي عَلَى تِسْعِ أَوَاقٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ، أُوقِيَّةٌ، فَأَعِينِينِي، فَقَالَتْ: إِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا لَهُمْ وَيَكُونَ وَلاَؤُكِ لِي، فَعَلْتُ، فَذَهَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ: فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهَا، فَجَاءَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ عَرَضْتُ ذَلِكِ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَبَوْا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الوَلاَءُ لَهُمْ، فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «خُذِيهَا وَاشْتَرِطِي لَهُمُ الوَلاَءَ، فَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»، فَفَعَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّاسِ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ شَرْطٍ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِائَةَ شَرْطٍ قَضَاءُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ وَشَرْطُ اللَّهِ أَوْثَقُ، وَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»
