حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَائَتْ تَسْتَعِينُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهَا إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلُکِ أَنْ أَصُبَّ لَهُمْ ثَمَنَکِ صَبَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَأُعْتِقَکِ فَعَلْتُ فَذَکَرَتْ بَرِيرَةُ ذَلِکَ لِأَهْلِهَا فَقَالُوا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَکُونَ وَلَاؤُکِ لَنَا قَالَ مَالِکٌ قَالَ يَحْيَی فَزَعَمَتْ عَمْرَةُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ذَکَرَتْ ذَلِکَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ اشْتَرِيهَا وَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَائُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2564
Narrated `Amra bint `Abdur-Rahman: Buraira went to Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers to seek her help in her emancipation Aisha said to her, "If your masters agree, I will pay them your price in a lump sum and manumit you." Buraira mentioned that offer to her masters but they refused to sell her unless the Wala' was for them. `Aisha told Allah's Apostle about it. He said, "Buy and manumit her as the Wala' is for the liberator."
