Aisha, (mother of the faithful believers) wanted to buy a slave girl and manumit her, but her masters said that they would sell her only on the condition that her Wala' would be for them. ʿAisha told Messenger of Allah ﷺ of that. He said, "What they stipulate should not hinder you from buying her, as the Wala' is for the manumitted."

أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلاَءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

Aisha wanted to buy a slave-girl in order to manumit her. The girl's masters stipulated that her Wala' would be for them. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to ʿAisha), "What they stipulate should not stop you, for the Wala' is for the liberator."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكِ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

That Aisha, the mother of the Believers, intended to buy a slave girl in order to manumit her. The slave girl's master said, "We are ready to sell her to you on the condition that her Wala should be for us." Aisha mentioned that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "This (condition) should not prevent you from buying her, for the Wala is for the one who manumits (the slave)."

أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلاَءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكِ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

We are prepared to sell her to you on the condition that her right of inheritance would vest with you. She (Hadrat A'isha) made a mention of that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ whereupon he said: This should not stand in your way. The right of inheritance vests in one who emancipates.

أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلاَءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

'A'isha (Allah be pleated with her) thought of buying a slave-girl and emancipating her, but her owners refused to (sell her but on the condition) that the right of inheritance would vest in them. She made a mention of that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. whereupon he said: Let this (condition) not stand in your way for the right of inheritance vests with one who emancipates.

أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ جَارِيَةً تُعْتِقُهَا فَأَبَى أَهْلُهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْوَلاَءُ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكِ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

'Aishah, mother of believers (ra), intended to buy a slave-girl to set her free. Her people said: We shall sell her to you on one condition that we shall inherit from her. 'Aishah mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: That should not prevent you, for the right of inheritance belongs to the one who has set a person free.

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ جَارِيَةً تَعْتِقُهَا فَقَالَ أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلاَءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ ذَاكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْوَلاَءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

"We will sell her to you on condition that her loyalty (Walla) is to us," She mentioned that top the Messenger of Allah and he said: "That should not stop you. Loyalty belongs to the one who sets the slave free."

أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ الْوَلاَءَ لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْوَلاَءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

[AI] "To have ownership of her, Aisha mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Buy her and set her free, for loyalty belongs to those who pay the price.'"

أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ وَلَاؤُهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اشْتَرِيهَا فَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى الثَّمَنَ

أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِ عَلَى أَنَّ وَلَاءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا يَمْنَعْكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

[AI] Aisha said, "Would you sell your family?" So she went to her family and mentioned it to them. They said, "Not unless you stipulate that we have her freedom." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Buy her and set her free, for loyalty belongs to the one who sets someone free."

لَهَا عَائِشَةُ أَيَبِيعُكِ أَهْلُكِ؟ فَأَتَتْ أَهْلَهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ فَقَالُوا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَشْتَرِطَ لَنَا وَلَاءَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اشْتَرِيهَا فَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that A'isha umm al-muminin wanted to buy a slave-girl and set her free. Her people said, "We will sell her to you provided that her wala' is ours." She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "Don't let that hinder you, for the wala' only belongs to the one who sets free."

أَنَّ وَلاَءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَمْنَعَنَّكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

فَقَالَ أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلاءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لا يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

Aisha, (mother of the faithful believers) wanted to buy a slave girl and manumit her, but her masters said that they would sell her only on the condition that her Wala' would be for them. ʿAisha told Messenger of Allah ﷺ of that.

أَنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لَنَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»

[AI] "They stipulated her loyalty, so she mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, 'Buy her and set her free, for loyalty belongs to the one who emancipates.'"

أَنْ يَشْتَرِطُوا وَلَاءَهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اشْتَرِيهَا فَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Wala' is for the manumitted (of the slave). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6752)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»

[AI] That her loyalty to us was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he said: "That should not stop you, for loyalty is only for the one who freed the slave." In another narration from Abu Nasr, from Ibn Umar, from Aisha, that she wanted to purchase a slave girl and then set her free, and the rest is equal.

أَنَّ وَلَاءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا يَمْنَعْكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ جَارِيَةً فَتُعْتِقَهَا وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ

[AI] The loyalty is for us, so I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "That should not prevent you, for loyalty belongs to whoever emancipates."

الْوَلَاءَ لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا يَمْنَعْكِ ذَلِكَ؛ فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2915)

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ وَلِيدَةً فَتُعْتِقَهَا فَقَالَ أَهْلُهَا نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلَاءَهَا لَنَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا يَمْنَعْكِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ
