أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
اشْتَرَيْتُ بَرِيرَةَ فَاشْتَرَطَ أَهْلُهَا وَلَاءَهَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى الْوَرِقَ» قَالَتْ فَأَعْتَقْتُهَا قَالَتْ فَدَعَاهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَخَيَّرَهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا» قَالَتْ لَوْ أَعْطَانِي كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا

✧ I bought Barirah, and her owners stipulated her wala. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “Free her, for the wala belongs to the one who paid the silver.” She said: So I freed her. She said: The Prophet ﷺ called her and gave her a choice regarding her husband. She said, “If he gave me such and such, I would not stay with him,” and she chose herself. Her husband was a free man.
