1367. An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr narrated that his father gave a slave to a son of his. So he went to the Prophet ﷺ to have him witness it. He ﷺ said: 'Have you given a gift similar to this one to all of your sons?' He replied: 'No.' So he said: 'Then take him back.'" (Ṣaḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh, and it has been
to some of the people of knowledge. It has also been reported from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever owns a related Mahram, then he is free." Damrah bin Rabī'ah reported it from Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, from 'Abdullāh bin Dīnār, from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ. But Damrah bin Rabī'ah is not followed up in narrating this Hadīth.[1] And this Hadīth is a mistake according to the scholars of Hadīth.

Commentary
Mahram relatives are those who are prohibited to marry each other when one of them is male and the other is female, as father and son, paternal uncle and paternal nephew, maternal uncle and maternal nephew, etc. The father is prohibited from marrying his daughter, a son cannot marry his mother, a brother cannot marry his sister etc. Most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and their followers acted according to this narration. The Ahnaf and Hanābilah also act upon this narration.
