[4186] 18 - (...) It was narrated that An-Nu'mân bin Bashîr said: "My father gave me a gift, then he brought me to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to bear witness to it. He said: 'Have you given this to all of your children?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Would you not like them all to honor you as you want this one to?' He said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then I will not bear witness.'" Ibn 'Awn said: "I narrated it to Muḥammad and he said: 'I was told that he (ﷺ) said: "Treat your children similarly."'

18 - (1623) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: نَحَلَنِي أَبِي نُحْلًا، ثُمَّ أَتَى بِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُشْهِدَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ أَعْطَيْتَهُ هَذَا؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ تُرِيدُ مِنْهُمُ الْبِرَّ مِثْلَ مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْ ذَا؟» قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: «فَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ»، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ مُحَمَّدًا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا تَحَدَّثْنَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «قَارِبُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ»
