Volume 3, Book 50, Number 889:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said, “Buraira 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 Uqiyya per year; so help
me.” Aisha said (to her), “If your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum provided the Wala will
be for me.” Buraira went to her masters and told them about it, but they refused the offer and she re –
turned from them while Allah’s Apostles was sitting. She said, “I presented the offer to them, but they
refused unless the Wala’ would be for them.” When the Prophet heard that and ‘Aisha told him about
It, he said to her, “Buy Buraira and let them stipulate that her Wala’ will be for them, as the Wala’ is
for the manumitted.” ‘Aisha did so. After that Allah’s Apostle got up amidst the people, Glorified and
Praised Allah and said, “What is wrong with some people who stipulate things which are not in Al –
lah’s Laws? Any condition which is not in Allah’s Laws is invalid even if there were a hundred such
conditions. Allah’s Rules are the most valid and Allah’s Conditions are the most solid. The Wala is for
the manumitted.”
