My mother asked my father to present me a gift from his property; and he gave it to me after some hesitation. My mother said that she would not be satisfied unless the Prophet ﷺ was made a witness to it. I being a young boy, my father held me by the hand and took me to the Prophet ﷺ . He said to the Prophet, "His mother, bint Rawaha, requested me to give this boy a gift." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have other sons besides him?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not make me a witness for injustice." Narrated Ash-Shuʿbi that the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will not become a witness for injustice."  

سَأَلَتْ أُمِّي أَبِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لِي مِنْ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَوَهَبَهَا لِي فَقَالَتْ لاَ أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ فَأَتَى بِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّهُ بِنْتَ رَوَاحَةَ سَأَلَتْنِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لِهَذَا قَالَ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَاهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأُرَاهُ قَالَ لاَ تُشْهِدْنِي عَلَى جَوْرٍ وَقَالَ أَبُو حَرِيزٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ لاَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ  

"I will not be pleased until you ask the Messenger of Allah to bear witness." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, the mother of this boy, the daughter of Rawahah, insisted that I give a gift to him." The Messenger of Allah said: "O Bashir, do you have any other children besides this one?" He said: "Yes." The Messenger of Allah said: "Have you given all of them a gift like that which you have given to this son of yours?" He said: "No." The Messenger of Allah said: "Then do not ask me to bear witness, for I will not bear witness to unfairness."  

أَنَّ أُمَّهُ ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ سَأَلَتْ أَبَاهُ بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ مِنْ مَالِهِ لاِبْنِهَا فَالْتَوَى بِهَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَوَهَبَهَا لَهُ فَقَالَتْ لاَ أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ قَاتَلَتْنِي عَلَى الَّذِي وَهَبْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا بَشِيرُ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَى هَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَفَكُلُّهُمْ وَهَبْتَ لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي وَهَبْتَ لاِبْنِكَ هَذَا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلاَ تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا فَإِنِّي لاَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ  

"My mother asked my father for a gift and he gave it to me. She said: 'I will not be contented until you ask the Messenger of Allah to bear witness.' So my father took me by the hand, as I was still a boy, and went to the Messenger of Allah. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the mother of this boy, the daughter of Rawahah, asked me for a gift, and she wanted me to ask you to bear witness to that.' He said: 'O Bashir, do you have any other child apart from this one?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Have you given him gifts like that which you have given to this one?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then do not ask me to bear witness, for I will not bear witness to unfairness.'"

[Machine] "My mother bears witness on you, O Messenger of Allah, so he took me by the hand and took me until we came to the Messenger of Allah, and he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother asked me to give this boy a gift, so I gave it to him.' She said, 'Bear witness on it, O Messenger of Allah,' so I came to you to bear witness to you. He said, 'Do you have any other children?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Did you give each of them the same as you gave him?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Then do not bear witness for me, for I do not bear witness on injustice. Indeed, it is your duty, O father, to be just between them.'"  

أُمِّي أَشْهِدْ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ بِي حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا الْغُلَامِ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَهَبَ لَهُ هِبَةً فَوَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ فَقَالَتْ أَشْهِدْ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُكَ لِأُشْهِدَكَ فَقَالَ رُوَيْدَكَ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ غَيْرُهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَهُ كَمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا إِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ إِنَّ لِبَنِيكَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ تَعْدِلَ بَيْنَهُمْ  

[Machine] My mother asked my father for some of his wealth as a gift. He agreed and kept it for a year, then gave it to me. My mother said, "I will not be pleased until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ testifies for you." So my father said to the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah, this woman, the mother of this child, has been fighting me for a year over a certain gift for my son. Now that I have given it to him, she wishes for you to testify." The Messenger of Allah said, "O Basheer, do you have any other children besides this one?" He replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah said, "Do not testify against me unjustly."  

سَأَلَتْ أُمِّي أَبِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَالْتَوَى بِهِ سَنَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَوَهَبَهَا لِي وَإِنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا بِنْتَ رَوَاحَةَ قَاتَلَتْنِي مُنْذُ سَنَةٍ عَلَى بَعْضِ مَوْهِبَةٍ لِابْنِي هَذَا وَقَدْ بَدَا لِي فَوَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا أَنْ تُشْهِدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «يَا بَشِيرُ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَى هَذَا؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «لَا تُشْهِدْنِي عَلَى جَوْرٍ»  

I shall not be pleased unless you call Messenger of Allah ﷺ as witness to what you confer as a gift on your son. (Nu'man said): So father took hold of my hand and I was at that time a boy, and came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. and said: Messenger of Allah, the mother of this son (of mine), daughter of Rawaha wishes that I should call you witness to what I confer as gift to her son. Messenger of Allah (may pease be upon him) said: Bashir, have you any other son besides this (son of yours)? He said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Have you given gifts to all of them like this? He said: No. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then call me not as witness, for I cannot be witness to an injustice. (Using translation from Muslim 1623f)   

أَنَّ أُمَّهُ ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ سَأَلَتْ أَبَاهُ بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ مِنْ مَالِهِ لِابْنِهَا فَالْتَوَى بِهَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَوَهَبَهَا لَهُ فَقَالَتْ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَا وَهَبْتَ لِابْنِي فَأَخَذَ أَبِي بِيَدِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ قَاتَلَتْنِي مُنْذُ سَنَةٍ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمَوْهِبَةِ مِنْ مَالِي لِابْنِي هَذَا وَقَدْ بَدَا لِي فَوَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي وَهَبْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا بَشِيرُ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَى هَذَا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَفَكُلُّهُمْ وَهَبْتَ لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي وَهَبْتَ لِابْنِكَ هَذَا؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَلَا تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا فَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ»
