Aisha told me that Buraira came to seek her help in writing for emancipation and at that time she hadnot paid any part of her price. `Aisha said to her, "Go to your masters and if they agree that I will payyour price (and free you) on condition that your Wala' will be for me, I will pay the money." Burairatold her masters about that, but they refused, and said, "If `Aisha wants to do a favor she could, butyour Wala will be for us." Aisha informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of that and he said to her, "Buy andmanumit Buraira as the Wala' will go to the manumitted."
