Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33725 — The foundling: to whom does his wala
٣٣٧٢٥ - حدثنا حاتم بن إسماعيل عن جعفر عن أبيه قال: قال علي: المنبوذ حر، فإن أحب أن يوالي الذي التقطه والاه، وإن أحب أن يوالي غيره والاه (١).
Ja'far reports through his father from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The child found abandoned on the road is free. If he wishes to enter into muwalah (a clientage pact) with the one who picked him up, he may do so; and if he wishes to enter into muwalah with someone else, he may do that as well.
