حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بَرِيرَةَ فَأَبَى أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ وَلَاؤُهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اشْتَرِيهَا فَأَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى الثَّمَنَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4855
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that 'Aa'ishah wanted to buy Bareerah, but her masters refused to sell her unless they retained the right to inherit from her. 'Aa'ishah mentioned that to the Prophet (PBUH) and the Messenger erf Allah (PBUH) said: "Buy her and manumit her, for the right to inheritance belongs to the one who paid the price."
