عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ بَشِيرٍ انْحَلْ ابْنِي غُلَامَكَ وَأَشْهِدْ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ فُلَانٍ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَنْحَلَ ابْنَهَا غُلَامِي وَقَالَتْ وَأَشْهِدْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَلَهُ إِخْوَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَيْسَ يَصْلُحُ هَذَا وَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى حَقٍّ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the wife of Sayyiduna Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Give a gift of your slave to my son and make the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a witness to it. So Sayyiduna Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My wife, Amrah bint Rawahah, is demanding that I give her son a gift of my slave, and she also says that I should make the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a witness to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Does he have any brothers? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Have you given all of them a similar gift? He said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then this is not permissible, and I only bear witness to what is right.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith it is understood that parents may give gifts to their children, but the condition is that they must give to all and also observe equality and fairness. If this is not done, then it will be injustice.
