[4181] 13 - (...) It was narrated that An-Nu'mân bin Bashîr said: "My father gave me some of his wealth and my mother, 'Amrah bint Rawâhah, said: 'I will not approve until you ask the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to bear witness.' So my father went to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him to bear witness to my gift. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: 'Have you done this for all your children?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Fear Allâh and treat your children fairly.' My father came back and took back the gift."

13 - (1623) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: تَصَدَّقَ عَلَيَّ أَبِي بِبَعْضِ مَالِهِ، فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ: لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُشْهِدَهُ عَلَى صَدَقَتِي، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِوَلَدِكَ كُلِّهِمْ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «اتَّقُوا اللهَ، وَاعْدِلُوا فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ»، فَرَجَعَ أَبِي، فَرَدَّ تِلْكَ الصَّدَقَةَ
