The meaning of his saying: "So what is the matter with men among you who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah? Any condition that is not in the Book of Allah is invalid, even if there are a hundred conditions. The judgment of Allah is more right, and the condition of Allah is more secure."

The Shaykh : He mentioned a great rule in the chapter of conditions. He delivered a sermon and said:

What is the matter with a group of people

ما بال أقوام

Be careful, O brother, do not go away.

He said: What is the matter with a group of people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah? Any condition that is not in the Book of Allah is invalid, even if there are a hundred conditions. The judgment of Allah is more right, and the condition of Allah is more secure. And the right of guardianship (wala') belongs only to the one who frees.

قال مابال أقوام يشترطون شروطاً ليست في كتاب الله ما كان من شرط ليس في كتاب الله فهو باطل وإن كان مئة شرط قضاء الله أحق وشرط الله أوثق وإنما الولاء لمن أعتق

As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 39:207

This hadith contains much good. Its cause was Barirah.
