Sahih al-Bukhari 2615 (Book 54, Hadith 14)
amount came to me and said, “O mother of the believers! Buy me and manumit me, as my masters
will sell me.” Aisha agreed to it. Barirah said, ‘My masters will sell me on the condition that my Wala
will go to them.” Aisha said to her, ‘Then I am not in need of you.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that or was
told about it and so he asked Aisha, ‘What is the problem of Barirah?’ He said, ‘Buy her and manumit
her, no matter what they stipulate.’ Aisha added, ‘I bought and manumitted her, though her masters
had stipulated that her Wala would be for them.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, The Wala is for the liberator, even
if the other stipulated a hundred conditions.”
