Hadith #17
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بَرِيرَةَ لِلْعِتْقِ فَأَرَادَ مَوَالِيهَا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطُوا وَلَاءَهَا فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ
اشْتَرِيهَا إِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ وَخَيَّرَهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا وَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَحْمٍ فَقِيلَ هَذَا مَا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding Barirah: "Do not buy her unless you can take her wala (patronage), for wala belongs only to the one who emancipates." She also gave Barirah a choice regarding her husband. When meat from her charity was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "It is charity for her and a gift for us."
