Arabic text

4657 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ، وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ»

Commentary

Walâ or the right of inheritance of a slave is the connection and relationship, which is established between the emancipator and the emancipated slave upon the latter's emancipation. Apparently, relationships and linkages could neither be sold nor could they be gifted to someone.
