Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Amr narrates that Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) gifted the wala’ of Hazrat Sulayman bin Yasar to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Hazrat Mansur says that I asked Ibrahim, if a person frees someone, can that person establish a wala’ (allegiance) relationship with someone else? He replied, no, he cannot do so; however, if the one who freed him gifts that wala’, then it is permissible.

Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Amr bin Hazm narrates that a woman gifted the right of allegiance (wala’) of her slave to him and set him free. The slave then freed himself and gifted himself to Abdur Rahman bin Amr bin Hazm. Later, the woman passed away. Her clients (mawali) brought this case before Hazrat Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for testimony regarding the matter, and when it was provided, Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, “Go and establish the bond of allegiance (wala’) with whomever you wish.” So he established the bond of allegiance with Abdur Rahman bin Amr bin Hazm.

Ibrahim and Hazrat Sha’bi state that there is no harm in the wala’ of Sa’ibah (such wala’ in which the master says to his slave, “Go, there is no wala’ upon you from anyone”) and in gifting it.

Hazrat Qatadah says that a woman gifted the wala (right of inheritance) of her slaves to her husband. Hazrat Hisham bin Hubairah says that I consider this wala valid for her husband as long as she is alive; when she dies, this wala will return to the woman's heirs.
