ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «فَارْجِعْهُ» أَرَادَ بِهِ لَأَنَّهُ غَيْرُ الْحَقِّ

[Machine] A woman named Bashir said, "My son became a young man, and I bear witness that he is the messenger of Allah." The messenger ﷺ asked, "Does he have any siblings?" She replied, "Yes." He then asked, "Have you given each of them the same as what you have given him?" She replied, "No." He said, "This is not right, and I bear witness only to the truth."
