[4187] 19 - (1624) It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The wife of Bashîr said: 'Give your slave to my son, and ask the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to bear witness for me.' So he went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'The daughter of so-and-so asked me to give my slave to her son, and she said: "Ask the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to bear witness for me."' He said: 'Does he have any brothers?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Have you given to all of them something like that which you have given to him?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'This is not right. I will not bear witness to anything but that which is right and proper.''

19 - (1624) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ بَشِيرٍ: انْحَلِ ابْنِي غُلَامَكَ وَأَشْهِدْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنَةَ فُلَانٍ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَنْحَلَ ابْنَهَا غُلَامِي، وَقَالَتْ: أَشْهِدْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَهُ إِخْوَةٌ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «أَفَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟»، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَلَيْسَ يَصْلُحُ هَذَا، وَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى حَقٍّ»
