٣٢۔ كِتَابُ الْهِبَاتِ
[Machine] He said, "Indeed, his father brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I have dedicated my son as a servant for you.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, "Did you also dedicate your own child as a servant like this?" He said, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Return him."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي هَذَا غُلَامًا كَانَ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَارْجِعْهُ
أَنْ أَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُشْهِدُهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَارْدُدْهُ
I heard An-Nuʿman bin Bashir on the pulpit saying, "My father gave me a gift but ʿAmra bint Rawaha (my mother) said that she would not agree to it unless he made Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a witness to it. So, my father went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I have given a gift to my son from ʿAmra bint Rawaha, but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!' Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Have you given (the like of it) to everyone of your sons?' He replied in the negative. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your children.' My father then returned and took back his gift." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2587)
لَهُ عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُ ابْنَ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ رَوَاحَةَ عَطِيَّةً وَأَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَعْطَيْتَ سَائِرَ وَلَدِكَ مِثْلَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَرَدَّ عَطِيَّتَهُ
[Machine] My mother asked my father for a gift from his wealth for me. He agreed to it for a year, and then he gave it to me. She said, "I do not agree until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ testifies to what you have given to my son." So, he took me by the hand and I was a young boy, and he brought me to the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, the mother of this girl, Rawaha's daughter, has been fighting with me for a year regarding some gift for my son. And it has become clear to me, so I have given it to him. And she expressed her desire for you to testify, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "O Bashir, do you have any children besides this one?" He replied, "Yes." He said, "Then do not testify for me or say that I testify unjustly."
سَأَلَتْ أُمِّي أَبِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لِي مِنْ مَالِهِ فَالْتَوَى بِهَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَوَهَبَهَا لِي وَإِنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَا وَهَبْتَ لِابْنِي فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ غُلَامٌ فَأَتَى بِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ قَاتَلَتْنِي مُنْذُ سَنَةٍ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لِابْنِي هَذَا وَقَدْ بَدَا لِي فَوَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا أَنْ نُشْهِدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا بَشِيرُ ألَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَى وَلَدِكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلَا تُشْهِدْنِي أَوْ قَالَ لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ witnessed and said, "Did you eat your child's honey just as you ate it?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "It is your duty to be fair to your children just as it is their duty to be grateful towards you."
أَنْ يُشْهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ كَمَا نَحَلْتَهُ؟ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ تَعْدِلَ بَيْنَ وَلَدِكَ كَمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ يَبَرُّوكَ تَفَرَّدَ مُجَالِدٌ بِهَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةِ
[Machine] A woman from the tribe of Bashir said: "An-Nihal, I bear witness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that your son has committed a crime." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: "The daughter of so-and-so has asked me to dissolve her son's relationship with my son, and she said: 'I bear witness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do they have siblings?" The woman replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you given all of them the same as you gave him?" She replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is not fair, and I do not bear witness to injustice."
قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ بَشِيرٍ انْحَلِ ابْنِي غُلَامَكَ وَأَشْهِدْ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ فُلَانٍ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَنْحَلَ ابْنَهَا غُلَامِيَ وَقَالَتْ أَشْهِدْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَهُ أُخْوَةٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَيْسَ يَصْلُحُ هَذَا وَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Treat your children fairly, treat your children fairly, their words should be equal."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمُ اعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ لَفْظُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Treat your children equally when giving gifts. If I were to favor anyone, I would have favored women."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَوُّوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ فِي الْعَطِيَّةِ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُفَضِّلًا أَحَدًا لَفَضَّلْتُ النِّسَاءَ
