Ayesha reported,

She intended to buy a Jariya in order to set her free, but the owners said, "We will sell her to you on the condition that her right of guardianship remains with us."She mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said, "Do not let that stop you, for the right of guardianship belongs only to the one who frees the slave."

Muslim 3776
