3927. It was narrated from ‘Abbās Al-Jurairī, from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Any slave who makes a contract (of manumission) for a hundred Uqiyah and pays it off, except ten Uqiyah, he is still a slave. And any slave who makes a contract (to buy his freedom) for a hundred Dinar and pays it off, except ten Dinar, he is still a slave.” (Hasan)Abū Dāwud said: He is not (actually) ‘Abbās Al-Jurairī, they say it is a mistake, rather it is a different Shaikh.

3929. It was narrated from Ibn Shihāb, from 'Urwah that 'Āishah informed him that Barīrah came to 'Āishah, seeking her help with (paying off) her contract of manumission, as she had not paid off any of it yet. 'Āishah said to her: "Go back to your masters, and if they agree to me paying off your contract of manumission, and having your Walā, then I shall do it." Barīrah told her masters about that, but they refused and said: "If she wants to seek reward from Allāh by manumitting you, let her do that, but the Walā' will remain ours." She (i.e., 'Āishah) mentioned that to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, said to her: "Buy her and manumit her, and the Walā' belongs to the one who manumits (the slave).” Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up and said: “What is the matter with people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allāh? Whoever stipulates a condition that is not in the Book of Allāh has no right to do so, even if he stipulates it one hundred times. Allāh’s condition is more valid and more binding.” (Sahih)

3930. It was narrated from Hishām bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Aishah, who said: “Barīrah came seeking help to pay off her contract of manumission. She said: ‘I made a contract of manumission with my masters on the basis that I would pay nine Uqiyah, one Uqiyah every year; help me.’ She said: ‘If your masters would like me to pay it in one sum, and I manumit you, your Walā' will be mine, I will do so.’ She went to her masters...” and he quoted a Hadith like that of Az-Zuhri (no. 3928). (Sahih) At the end, he added to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: “What is the matter with men, one of whom says: ‘Manumit (the slave), O so-and-so, but the Walā' will belong to me?’ The Walā' belongs to the one who manumits the slave.”

3931. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Jaʿfar bin Az-Zubair, from ‘Urwah bin Az-Zubair that ‘Āishah said: “Juwairiyah bint Al-Ĥārith bin Al-Muṣṭalaq fell to the lot of Ṭhābit bin Qais bin Shammās, or a cousin of his, and she made a contract of manumission for herself. She was a very beautiful and attractive woman.” ‘Āishah said: “She came to ask the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about her contract of manumission, and when I saw her standing at the door, I did not like it, because I realized that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would see in her what I saw. She said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, I am Juwairiyah bint Al-Ĥārith and there has happened to me that of which you are not unaware. I fell to the lot of Ṭhābit bin Qais bin Shammās, but I have made a contract of manumission for myself, and I have come to ask you about my manumission.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘How about giving you something which is better than that?’ She said: ‘What is that, O Messenger of Allāh?’ He said: ‘I will pay off your contract of manumission and marry you.’ She said: ‘I accept.’ The people heard that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had married Juwairiyah, and they released the captives they were holding and set them free, saying: ‘(They are) the in-laws of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' We have never seen a woman who brought more blessing to her people than her. Because of her, one hundred families of Banū Al-Muṣṭaliq were set free." (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: This is proof that the Wālī is such that he may arrange the marriage himself.
