حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ :" أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ مُحَارِبٍ وَهَبَتْ وَلَاءَ عَبْدِهَا لِنَفْسِهِ، فَأَعْتَقَتْهُ، فَوَهَبَ وَلاءَ نَفْسِهِ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، وَم
َاتَتْ، فَخَاصَمَتِ الْمَوَالِيَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ، فَدَعَا عُثْمَانُ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى مَا قَالَ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى الْبَيِّنَةُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ : اذْهَبْ، فَوَالِ مَنْ شِئْتَ ". قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : فَوَالَى عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Bakr ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm that a woman from the Muharib tribe gifted the walaa' of her freed slave to the slave himself, then freed him. The slave then gifted his own walaa' to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm. After she died, a dispute was brought to 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). 'Uthman called for witnesses to prove the claim, and when witnesses came forward, he told the freed slave: "Go and take as patron whoever you wish." He chose 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm.
