What is the ruling when two people testify that the master freed his slave, but their testimony is rejected, and subsequently one or both of them purchase the slave?

Primary text

If two individuals testify that the master freed his slave, and their testimony is subsequently rejected, yet one or both of them purchase the slave, the slave is freed. This view is supported by Al-Awza'i, Malik, Al-Shafi'i, and Ibn Al-Mundhir, aligning with the قياس (analogy) of Abu Hanifa's position. No Wala' is established for the purchaser or the seller in this scenario due to denial or lack of claim.
