حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَائَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَسْتَعِينُهَا فِي کِتَابَتِهَا وَلَمْ تَکُنْ قَضَتْ مِنْ کِتَابَتِهَا شَيْئًا قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَی أَهْلِکِ فَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ أَقْضِيَ عَنْکِ کِتَابَتَکِ وَيَکُونَ وَلَاؤُکِ لِي فَعَلْتُ فَذَکَرَتْ ذَلِکَ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَی أَهْلِهَا فَأَبَوْا وَقَالُوا إِنْ شَائَتْ أَنْ تَحْتَسِبَ عَلَيْکِ فَلْتَفْعَلْ وَيَکُونَ لَنَا وَلَاؤُکِ فَذَکَرَتْ ذَلِکَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهَا ابْتَاعِي فَأَعْتِقِي فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَائُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2717
Narrated `Urwa: Aisha told me that Buraira came to seek her help in writing for emancipation and at that time she had not paid any part of her price. `Aisha said to her, "Go to your masters and if they agree that I will pay your price (and free you) on condition that your Wala' will be for me, I will pay the money." Buraira told her masters about that, but they refused, and said, "If `Aisha wants to do a favor she could, but your Wala will be for us." Aisha informed Allah's Apostle of that and he said to her, "Buy and manumit Buraira as the Wala' will go to the manumitted."
