Sahih al-Bukhari 2463 (Book 50, Hadith 6)
my masters who sold me to Ibn Abu `Amr who manumitted me. The sons of `Utba stipulated that my
Wala’ should be for them.” `Aisha said, “Barirah came to me and she was given the writing of
emancipation by her masters and she asked me to buy and manumit her. I agreed to it, but Barirah told
me that her masters would not sell her unless her Wala’ was for them.” `Aisha said, “I am not in need
of that.” When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard that, or he was told about it, he asked `Aisha about it. `Aisha
mentioned what Barirah had told her. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Buy and manumit (free) her and let them stipulate
whatever they like.” So, `Aisha bought and manumitted her and her masters stipulated that her Wala’
should be for them.” The Prophet;, said, “The Wala’ will be for the liberator even if they stipulated a
hundred conditions.”
