حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِيَادٌ عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي نَحْوَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَبِي ابْنُکَ هَذَا قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ الْکَعْبَةِ قَالَ حَقًّا قَالَ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَاحِکًا مِنْ ثَبْتِ شَبَهِي فِي أَبِي وَمِنْ حَلِفِ أَبِي عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْکَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَی
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4495
Narrated Abu Rimthah: I went to the Prophet ﷺ with my father. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked my father: Is this your son? He replied: Yes, by the Lord of the Kabah. He again said: Is it true? He said: I bear witness to it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then smiled for my resemblance with my father, and for the fact that my father took an oath upon me. He then said: He will not bring evil on you, nor will you bring evil on him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse: "No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. "
