51.12 Giving gifts to one's sons

٥١۔١٢ باب الْهِبَةِ لِلْوَلَدِ

[Machine] And when someone gives something to one of his children that is not permissible, he must make things right between them and give the others the same, and he should not favor one over the others. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Make things right among your children in giving gifts." Can a parent take back his gift or consume from his child's wealth with moderation and without going beyond that? The Prophet ﷺ bought a camel from Umar and then gave it to Ibn Umar and said, "Do with it as you please."

وَإِذَا أَعْطَى بَعْضَ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَجُزْ، حَتَّى يَعْدِلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَيُعْطِيَ الآخَرِينَ مِثْلَهُ، وَلاَ يُشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «اعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلاَدِكُمْ فِي الْعَطِيَّةِ». وَهَلْ لِلْوَالِدِ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي عَطِيَّتِهِ وَمَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْ مَالِ وَلَدِهِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلاَ يَتَعَدَّى. وَاشْتَرَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ عُمَرَ بَعِيرًا ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، وَقَالَ: «اصْنَعْ بِهِ مَا شِئْتَ».

that his father took him to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I have given this son of mine a slave." The Prophet asked, "Have you given all your sons the like?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take back your gift then."  

البخاري:٢٥٨٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ أَنَّهُمَا حَدَّثَاهُ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي هَذَا غُلاَمًا فَقَالَ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَارْجِعْهُ
