It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wala’ (the right of inheritance and loyalty) belongs to the one who sets free.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Narrated from Sayyida Salma bint Hamza (may Allah be pleased with her) that her freed slave passed away and left behind a daughter as an heir. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made half of the wealth the share of his daughter and half the share of Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him). This Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) was the son of Salma (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah said: Retaliation (qisas) shall not be taken from the father in exchange for his child. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever inherits the right of wala’, he will also inherit the wealth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) returned (from Syria), the sons of Mu'ammar bin Habib came to him and began disputing with him regarding the guardianship (wala) of their sister. The case was brought before Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: I will judge between you according to the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever wealth the children or parents encompass, it will go to their 'asaba (male relatives), whoever they may be. Thus, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) judged in our favor in light of this hadith.
