Whenever Allah’s Apostle wanted to go on a journey, he would draw lots as to which of his wives
would accompany him. He would take her whose name came out. He used to fix for each of them a
day and a night. But Sauda bint Zam’a gave up her (turn) day and night to ‘Aisha, the wife of the
Prophet in order to seek the pleasure of Allah’s Apostle (by that action).

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 752:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I intended to buy Buraira but her masters stipulated that her Wala should be for them. When the
Prophet was told about it, he said to me, “Buy and manumit her, as the Wala’ is for the liberator.”
Once Buraira was given some meat, and the Prophet asked, “What is this?” I said, “It has been given
to Buraira in charity.” He said, “It is sadaqa for her but a gift for us.” Buraira was given the option (to
stay with her husband or to part with him). AbdurRahman (a sub-narrator) wondered, “Was her
husband a slave or a free man?” Shu’ba (another sub-narrator) said, “I asked ‘Abdur-Rahman wheth –
er her husband was a slave or a free man. He replied that he did not know whether he was a slave or
a free man.”

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 737:
Narrated Aisha:
Buraira came (to ‘Aisha) and said, “I have made a contract of emancipation with my masters for
nine Uqiyas (of gold) to be paid in yearly installments. Therefore, I seek your help.” ‘Aisha said, “If
your masters agree, I will pay them the sum at once and free you on condition that your Wala’ will
be for me.” Buraira went to her masters but they refused that offer. She (came back) and said, “I
presented to them the offer but they refused, unless the Wala’ was for them.” Allah’s Apostle heard of
that and asked me about it, and I told him about it. On that he said, “Buy and manumit her and stipu –
late that the Wala’ should be for you, as Wala’ is for the liberator.” ‘Aisha added, “Allah’s Apostle then
got up amongst the people, Glorified and Praised Allah, and said, ‘Then after: What about some
people who impose conditions which are not present in Allah’s Laws? So, any condition which is not
present in Allah’s Laws is invalid even if they were one-hundred conditions. Allah’s ordinance is the
truth, and Allah’s condition is stronger and more solid. Why do some men from you say, O so-and-
so! manumit the slave but the Wala will be for me? Verily, the Wala is for the liberator.”
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 713:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
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.
