Hadith 33050
٣٣٠٥٠ - حدثنا حسين بن علي عن زائدة عن أبي حيان قال: حدثني أبي قال: حضر جار لشريح وله بنون، فقسم ماله بينهم لا يألو أن يعدل، ثم دعا (شريحًا) (١) فجاء فقال: (أبا أمية) (٢) إني قسمت مالي بين ولدي ولم آل وقد أشهدتك، فقال شريح: قسمة اللَّه أعدل من قسمتك، فارددهم إلى (سهام) (٣) اللَّه وفرائضه، وأشهدني وإلا فلا تشهدني (فإني) (٤) لا أشهد على جور.
Abu Hayyan narrates from his father that a neighbor of Hazrat Shurayh, who had more than one child, came to him and distributed his wealth among his children without considering equality. Then he called Hazrat Shurayh, and when he came, the man said, "O Abu Umayyah! I have distributed my wealth among my children and I did not observe equality, and now I make you a witness." Hazrat Shurayh said: "Allah's distribution is more just than your distribution. Cancel this distribution and distribute according to the shares fixed by Allah, and then make me a witness. Otherwise, do not make me a witness because I do not want to be a witness to injustice."
