“Bear witness that I have given Nu'man such and such from my wealth.” He said: “Have you given all your children something like that which you have given to Nu'man?” He said: “No.” He said: “Then let someone other than me bear witness to that.” And he said: “Would you not like all your children to honor you equally?” He said: “Of course.” He said: “Then do not do this.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2375)
حَمَلَنِي أَبِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ نَحَلْتُ النُّعْمَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا شَيْئًا سَمَّاهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي نَحَلْتَ النُّعْمَانَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَأَشْهِدْ غَيْرِي قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي الْبِرِّ سَوَاءً؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَلَا إِذًا
