أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَاءَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَسْتَعِينُهَا فِي كِتَابَتِهَا شَيْئًا فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَى أَهْلِكِ فَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا

أَنْ أَقْضِيَ عَنْكِ كِتَابَتَكِ وَيَكُونَ وَلَاؤُكِ لِي فَعَلْتُ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ بَرِيرَةُ لِأَهْلِهَا فَأَبَوْا وَقَالُوا إِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تَحْتَسِبَ عَلَيْكِ فَلْتَفْعَلْ وَيَكُونَ لَنَا وَلَاؤُكِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ابْتَاعِي فَأَعْتِقِي؛ فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ» ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَنِ اشْتَرَطَ شَرْطًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ وَإِنِ شَرَطَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَشَرْطُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ وَأَوْثَقُ»

✧ “If I pay off your kitābah (contract of manumission) and your walāʾ (patronage) belongs to me, I will do it.” Barīrah mentioned that to her owners, but they refused and said: “If she wants to count it as a favor to you, let her do so, but your walāʾ will belong to us.” She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: “Buy her and manumit her, for walāʾ belongs to the one who manumits.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said: “What is the matter with people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah? Whoever stipulates a condition that is not in the Book of Allah, it is not valid for him, even if he stipulates it a hundred times. The condition of Allah is more deserving and more binding.”
