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."  

البخاري:٢٥٨٧حَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ؓ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ أَعْطَانِي أَبِي عَطِيَّةً فَقَالَتْ

عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ لاَ أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُ ابْنِي مِنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ رَوَاحَةَ عَطِيَّةً فَأَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَعْطَيْتَ سَائِرَ وَلَدِكَ مِثْلَ هَذَا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلاَدِكُمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَرَدَّ عَطِيَّتَهُ
