[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."
