4648. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar that 'Aishah wanted to but a slave woman to set her free, but her people said: "We will sell her to you on condition that her loyalty (Walâ) be to us." She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: "That should not stop you. Loyalty belongs to the one who sets the slave free." (Sahih)
