Keeping four wives on accepting Islam: Abu Hanifah said the first four

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the owners of Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) intended to sell her and to stipulate the wala (the estate of a freed slave after his death). I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Buy her and free her, for the wala goes only to the one who frees."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the masters of (Barirah) stipulated the wala, and the decision was that the wala belongs to the one who paid the price.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) intended to buy Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her), so the owners said: "Will you buy her on the condition that her wala' will be ours?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let this condition not keep you from (buying) Barirah, for wala' goes only to the one who frees." It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: This condition is invalid and not permissible.
