gold) (in installments) one Uqiya per year; please help me.’ I said, ‘I am ready to pay the whole
amount now provided your masters agree that your Wala’ will be for me.’ So, Barira went to her
masters and told them about that offer but they refused to accept it. She returned, and at that time,
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting (present). Barira said, ‘I told them of the offer but they did not accept it
and insisted on having the Wala’.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) heard that.” `Aisha narrated the whole story to the
Prophet. He said to her, “Buy her and stipulate that her Wala’ would be yours as the Wala’ is for the
manumitter.” `Aisha did so. Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood up in front of the people, and after glorifying
Allah he said, “Amma Ba`du (i.e. then after)! What about the people who impose conditions which are
not in Allah’s Book (Laws)? Any condition that is not in Allah’s Book (Laws) is invalid even if they
were one hundred conditions, for Allah’s decisions are the right ones and His conditions are the strong
ones (firmer) and the Wala’ will be for the manumitter.”
