Sahih al-Bukhari 2462 (Book 50, Hadith 5)
said to her, “If your masters agree, I will pay them your price in a lump sum and manumit (free) you.”
Barirah mentioned that offer to her masters but they refused to sell her unless the Wala’ was for them.
`Aisha told Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about it. He said, “Buy and manumit her as the Wala’ is for the liberator.”
“ اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ”.
