me.” Aisha said (to her), “If your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum provided the Wala will
be for me.” Barirah went to her masters and told them about it, but they refused the offer and she
returned from them while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)s was sitting. She said, “I presented the offer to them, but
they refused unless the Wala’ would be for them.” When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard that and `Aisha told him
about It, he said to her, “Buy Barirah and let them stipulate that her Wala’ will be for them, as the
Wala’ is for the manumitted.” `Aisha did so. After that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got up amidst the people,
Glorified and Praised Allah and said, “What is wrong with some people who stipulate things which
are not in Allah’s Laws? Any condition which is not in Allah’s Laws is invalid even if there were a
hundred such conditions. Allah’s Rules are the most valid and Allah’s Conditions are the most solid.
The Wala is for the manumitted.”
