Musnad of Aishah
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4520 — she said: I bought Sayyidah Barirah in order
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتِ : اشْتَرَيْتُ بَرِيرَةَ لِأُعْتِقَهَا ، فَاشْتَرَطَ أَهْلُهَا وَلَاءَهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : أَعْتِقِيهَا ، فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا وَهِيَ مَمْلُوكَةٌ ، فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "I bought Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) in order to set her free, but her owners stipulated that her wala' (the right of inheritance) would remain theirs. I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Set her free, for the wala' belongs to the one who sets free.' At that time her husband was a free man while she was a slave woman, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice (to keep or dissolve her marriage)."
