Barirah came to Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, and said: My people have made a contract of emancipation with me for nine awqiyah, one awqiyah each year, so help me. Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: If your people agree, I will pay all at once, but I will take your wala (right of allegiance). Barirah went to her people, told them, and they refused to give the wala. Then Barirah returned to Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was also sitting there, and she said: I told my people, but they refuse and say the wala will be ours. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, heard this, he asked: "What is the matter?" Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated the whole story. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Take Barirah and make the condition of wala for them, for the wala belongs to the one who sets free." Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, did so. After that, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out among the people, praised Allah the Exalted, then said: "What is the matter with people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah? Any condition that is not in the Book of Allah is invalid, even if it is stipulated a hundred times. Allah's command is true and His condition is firm. The wala belongs to the one who sets free."
