حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: "نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ، وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the selling and gifting of wala (the right of inheritance due to manumission).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: "أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ، وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ".
With this chain as well, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) in the same manner as translated above.
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ: "لَا يُبَاعُ الْوَلَاءُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ، وَالْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: Wala’ (the right of inheritance from a freed slave) can neither be sold nor gifted, and Wala’ belongs to the one who set (the slave) free.
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: "الْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَلُحْمَةِ النَّسَبِ، لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There is a bond of wala’ (allegiance) similar to the bond of lineage; it can neither be sold nor gifted.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِم، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ: "أنهما كرها بيع الولاء".
Qatadah (bin Di‘amah) said: Hasan and Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on them, disliked the selling of wala’ (i.e., considered it reprehensible).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: "لَا يُبَاعُ الْوَلَاءُ، أَيُؤْكَلُ بِرَقَبَةِ رَجُلٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ ؟".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Wala’ cannot be sold. Can a man’s neck be consumed twice?
