The reciter: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us from Malik, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar:
That Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, wanted to buy a slave girl to free her. Her people said, "We will sell her to you on the condition that her loyalty (wala') belongs to us." She mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said, "That does not prevent you from doing so, for loyalty belongs to the one who frees the slave."
أن عائشة أم المؤمنين : أرادت أن تشتري جارية تعتقها، فقال أهلها : نبيعكها على أن ولاءها لنا، فذكرت ذلك لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال : لا يمنعك ذلك، فإنما الولاء لمن أعتق
