This hadith is listed as number 3776 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ يَحْيَي ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ جَارِيَةً تُعْتِقُهَا ، فَقَالَ أَهْلُهَا : نَبِيعُكِهَا عَلَى أَنَّ وَلَاءَهَا لَنَا ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " لَا يَمْنَعُكِ ذَلِكِ ، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ " .
Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that 'A'isha decided to buy a slave-girl and then set her free, but her masters said: We are prepared to sell her to you on the condition that her right of inheritance would vest with us. She (Hadrat A'isha) made a mention of that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) whereupon he said: This should not stand in your way. The right of inheritance vests in one who emancipates.
