حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَنَا سَيَّارٌ وَأَخْبرَنَا مُغِيرَةُ أَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَمُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَحَلَنِي أَبِي نُحْلًا قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْقَوْمِ نَحَلَهُ غُلَامًا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمِّي عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ ائْتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَشْهِدْهُ قَالَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي النُّعْمَانَ نُحْلًا وَإِنَّ عَمْرَةَ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَاهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ النُّعْمَانَ قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُحَدِّثِينَ هَذَا جَوْرٌ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا تَلْجِئَةٌ فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي وَقَالَ مُغِيرَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا لَكَ فِي الْبِرِّ وَاللُّطْفِ سَوَاءً قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي وَذَكَرَ مُجَالِدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ تَعْدِلَ بَيْنَهُمْ كَمَا أَنَّ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ يَبَرُّوكَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with both of them), he says: My father gave me a gift, and according to one narrator, it was a slave. My mother, Amrah bint Rawahah, said to my father: Go to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and make him a witness to this. So he went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole matter and said: I have given a gift to my son Nu’man, and Amrah has demanded from me that you (peace and blessings be upon him) be made a witness to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you have any children other than him? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Have you given all of them the same thing that you have given to Nu’man? I said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is injustice, which is being done due to the pressure of your wife. Go and make someone other than me a witness to this. In his narration, Mughira said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Does it please you that all your children should deal with you equally in goodness and kindness? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go and make someone else a witness, surely they have a right over you that you do justice and equality among them, just as you have a right over them that they do good to you.
