I bought Buraira but her masters put the condition that her Wala’ would be for them. I told the
Prophet about it. He said (to me), “Manumit her as her Wala’ will be for the one who pays the price.”
So, I manumitted her. The Prophet called Buraira and gave her the option of either staying with her
husband or leaving him. She said, “Even if he gave me so much money, I would not stay with him,”
and so she preferred her freedom to her husband.

Apostle and also brought ‘Abu bin Zam’a with him and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This is the son of my
brother ‘Utba who authorized me to take him into my custody.” ‘Abu bin Zam’a said, “O Allah’s
