3545 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ بَشِيرٍ انْحَلْ ابْنِي غُلَامَكَ وَأَشْهِدْ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنَةَ فُلَانٍ، سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَنْحَلَ ابْنَهَا غُلَامًا، وَقَالَتْ لِي: أَشْهِدْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ؟»، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَلَيْسَ يَصْلُحُ هَذَا، وَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى حَقٍّ»

Commentary

Making a witness in important matters is commanded. One should become witness only on the side of truth and justice.
