"Have you given a present to all of your children?" He said: "No." He said: "Then take it back." This wording is that of (one of the narrators) Muhammad. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3672)  

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ نَحَلَهُ غُلَامًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُشْهِدُهُ فَقَالَ «أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَارْدُدْهُ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي غُلَامًا كَانَ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَارْجِعْهُ»  

"O Messenger of Allah, I have given this son of mine a slave who belonged to me as a present." The Messenger of Allah said: "Have you given a present to all your children?" He said: "No." He said: "Then take (your present) back." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3674)   

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ بَشِيرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ جَاءَ بِابْنِهِ النُّعْمَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي هَذَا غُلَامًا كَانَ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَكُلَّ بَنِيكَ نَحَلْتَ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَارْجِعْهُ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ witnessed and said, "Every child of yours is like this?" He said, "No." He said, "Then return him."  

أَنْ يُشْهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ مِثْلَ ذَا؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَارْدُدْهُ»  

"Ask the Prophet to bear witness to what you have given to my son." So he came to the Prophet and told him about that, and the Prophet did not want to bear witness to it. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3676)  

لَهُ أُمَّهُ أَشْهِدِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَى مَا نَحَلْتَ ابْنِي فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَكَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ لَهُ

"Bear witness that I have given An-Nu'man such and such of my wealth as a gift." He said: "Have you given all your children a present like that which you have given to An-Nu'man?" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3679)  

انْطَلَقَ بِهِ أَبُوهُ يَحْمِلُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ اشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ نَحَلْتُ النُّعْمَانَ مِنْ مَالِي كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ «كُلَّ بَنِيكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي نَحَلْتَ النُّعْمَانَ؟»  

"Have you given all your children a present like that which you have given to him?" He said: "No." He said: "I will not bear witness to anything. Will it not please you if they were all to treat you with equal respect?" He said: "Of course." He said: "Then no (I will not do it)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3680)   

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُشْهِدُهُ عَلَى نُحْلٍ نَحَلَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ «أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي نَحَلْتَهُ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي الْبِرِّ سَوَاءً؟» قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ «فَلَا إِذًا»  

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»  

"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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3682)
