[4185] 17 - (...) It was narrated that An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr said: "My father took me to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, bear witness that I have given to this son of mine such and such of my wealth.' He said: 'Have you given to all your sons the like of what you have given to An-Nu'mân?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then ask someone else to bear witness to this.' Then he said: 'Would you not like them all to honor you equally?' He said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then do not do it.'"

17 - (1623) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، وَعَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: انْطَلَقَ بِي أَبِي يَحْمِلُنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ نَحَلْتُ النُّعْمَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ مَالِي، فَقَالَ: «أَكُلَّ بَنِيكَ قَدْ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ مَا نَحَلْتَ النُّعْمَانَ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي الْبِرِّ سَوَاءً؟» قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: «فَلَا إِذًا»
