أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ رَاهَوَيْهِ قَالَ عَنْ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَاتَبْتُ بَرِيرَةَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا تِسْعَ أَوَاقٍ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ أُوقِيَّةٌ فَأَتَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَسْتَعِينُهَا فَقَالَتْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا لَهُمْ عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَيَكُونُ الْوَلَاءُ لِي فَذَهَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ فَكَلَّمَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَاءُ لَهُمْ فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا مَا قَالَ أَهْلُهَا فَقَالَتْ لَاهَا اللهُ إِذًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَاءُ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَرِيرَةَ أَتَتْنِي تَسْتَعِينُ بِي عَلَى كِتَابَتِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا لَهُمْ عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَيَكُونُ الْوَلَاءُ لِي فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِأَهْلِهَا فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَاءُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ابْتَاعِيهَا وَاشْتَرِطِي لَهُمُ الْوَلَاءُ فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ» ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ يَقُولُونَ أَعْتِقْ فُلَانًا وَالْوَلَاءُ لِي كِتَابُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ وَشَرْطُ اللهِ أَوْثَقُ وَكُلُّ شَرْطٍ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِائَةَ شَرْطٍ» فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا وَكَانَ عَبْدًا فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا قَالَ عُرْوَةُ وَلَوْ كَانَ حُرًّا مَا خَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ I made a contract of manumission with Barirah for herself: nine uqiyahs, one uqiyah each year. She came to Aisha seeking her help, and she said, “Unless they agree that I pay them the full sum in one payment and the wala belongs to me.” Barirah went and spoke to her owners about that, but they refused unless the wala belonged to them. She came to Aisha, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came at that moment. She told her what her owners had said, and she said, “No, by Allah, not unless the wala belongs to me.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “What is this?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, Barirah came to me seeking help with her kitabah, and I said, ‘No, unless they agree that I pay them the full sum in one payment and the wala belongs to me.’ She mentioned that to her owners, and they refused unless the wala belonged to them.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Buy her and stipulate the wala for them, for the wala belongs to the one who frees.” Then he stood and addressed the people, praising and extolling Allah, then said, “What is the matter with people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah, saying, ‘Free so-and-so and the wala belongs to me’? The Book of Allah is more deserving, and the condition of Allah is more binding. Any condition not in the Book of Allah is void, even if it is a hundred conditions.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then gave her a choice regarding her husband, who was a slave, and she chose herself. Urwah said, “If he had been free, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not have given her a choice.”
