حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ جَائَتْنِي بَرِيرَةُ فَقَالَتْ کَاتَبْتُ أَهْلِي عَلَی تِسْعِ أَوَاقٍ فِي کُلِّ عَامٍ وَقِيَّةٌ فَأَعِينِينِي فَقُلْتُ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلُکِ أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا لَهُمْ وَيَکُونَ وَلَاؤُکِ لِي فَعَلْتُ فَذَهَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَی أَهْلِهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ فَأَبَوْا ذَلِکَ عَلَيْهَا فَجَائَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ عَرَضْتُ ذَلِکَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَبَوْا إِلَّا أَنْ يَکُونَ الْوَلَائُ لَهُمْ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ خُذِيهَا وَاشْتَرِطِي لَهُمْ الْوَلَائَ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَائُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ فَفَعَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّاسِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَی عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَا کَانَ مِنْ شَرْطٍ لَيْسَ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ وَإِنْ کَانَ مِائَةَ شَرْطٍ قَضَائُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ وَشَرْطُ اللَّهِ أَوْثَقُ وَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَائُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2168
Narrated `Urwa: Aisha said, "Buraira came to me and said, 'I have agreed with my masters to pay them nine Uqiyas (of gold) (in installments) one Uqiya per year; please help me.' I said, 'I am ready to pay the whole amount now provided your masters agree that your Wala will be for me.' So, Buraira went to her masters and told them about that offer but they refused to accept it. She returned, and at that time, Allah's Apostle was sitting (present). Buraira said, 'I told them of the offer but they did not accept it and insisted on having the Wala.'.' The Prophet heard that." `Aisha narrated the whole story to the Prophet . He said to her, "Buy her and stipulate that her Wala' would be yours as the Wala' is for the manumitted." `Aisha did so. Then Allah's Apostle stood up in front of the people, and after glorifying Allah he said, "Amma Badu (i.e. then after)! What about the people who impose conditions which are not in Allah's Book (Laws)? Any condition that is not in Allah's Book (Laws) is invalid even if they were one hundred conditions, for Allah's decisions are the right ones and His conditions are the strong ones (firmer) and the Wala' will be for the manumitted."
