Sahih al-Bukhari 2560 (Book 50, Hadith 1) #2449
Following Allah's Laws

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of following Allah's laws and not making conditions that are not in accordance with them.

Narrated 'Aishah (ra) that Barirah came to seek her help writing of emancipation and she had to pay five Uqiya (of gold) by five yearly installments'.Aishah said to her, "Do you think that if I pay the whole sum at once, your masters will sell you to me, and I will free you and your Wala' will be for me". Barirah went to her masters and told them about that offer. They said that they would not agree to it unless her Wala' would be for them'.Aishah further said, "I went to Allah's Messenger and told him about it". Allah Messenger said to her, "Buy Barirah and manumit her and the Wala' will be for the liberator". Allah's Messenger then got up and said, "What about those people who stipulate conditions that are not present in Allah's Laws? If anybody stipulates a condition which is not in Allah's Laws, then what he stipulates is invalid. Allah's Condition (Laws) are the truth and are more solid".
وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ إِنَّ بَرِيرَةَ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا تَسْتَعِينُهَا فِي كِتَابَتِهَا وَعَلَيْهَا خَمْسَةُ أَوَاقٍ، نُجِّمَتْ عَلَيْهَا فِي خَمْسِ سِنِينَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ وَنَفِسَتْ فِيهَا أَرَأَيْتِ إِنْ عَدَدْتُ لَهُمْ عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً، أَيَبِيعُكِ أَهْلُكِ، فَأُعْتِقَكِ، فَيَكُونَ وَلاَؤُكِ لِي فَذَهَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا، فَعَرَضَتْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا الْوَلاَءُ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اشْتَرِيهَا فَأَعْتِقِيهَا، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، مَنِ اشْتَرَطَ شَرْطًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَهْوَ بَاطِلٌ، شَرْطُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ وَأَوْثَقُ

This hadith speaks to the importance of following Allah's laws and not making conditions that are not in accordance with them. The story is about a woman named Barirah who was seeking help from 'Aishah to be emancipated, but her masters would only agree if her Wala' would be for them. 'Aishah then went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for advice, and he instructed her to buy Barirah and manumit her, so that the Wala' would be for the liberator. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then made a statement emphasizing how any condition stipulated which is not in accordance with Allah's laws is invalid.
