Chapter. Al-Mukatab (i.e., the slave who is given the writing of emancipation for a certain sum) and about the invalidity of those conditions which contradict Allah’s Laws.
Narrated `Amra: Aisha said that Buraira came to seek her help in the writing of her emancipation. `Aisha said to her, "If you wish, I will pay your masters (your price) and the wala' will be for me." When Allah's Apostle came, she told him about it. The Prophet said to her, "Buy her (i.e. Buraira) and manumit her, for the Wala is for the one who manumits." Then Allah's Apostle ascended the pulpit and said, "What about those people who stipulate conditions which are not in Allah's Laws? Whoever stipulates such conditions as are not in Allah's Laws, then those conditions are invalid even if he stipulated a hundred such conditions."
And Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said regarding the mukatab that whatever conditions (i.e., between the mukatab and his owner) are agreed upon, they are valid. And Ibn Umar or Umar (may Allah be pleased with him/them) said (the narrator is uncertain) that every condition which is against the Book of Allah is invalid, even if a hundred such conditions are stipulated. Abu Abdullah (Imam Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is reported that this statement is narrated from both Umar and Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).
