[Machine] I heard Nu'man ibn Bashir, who was the governor of Kufa, say: "My father assigned me a servant, so I went to the Prophet ﷺ to bear witness. He asked me, 'Did you provide for your son?' I replied, 'No.' He then said, 'I will not bear witness to an injustice.'"  

أحمد:١٨٤١٠حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ قَالَ
