سنن نسائی · Hadith 3707
It was narrated from An Numan bin Bashir that his father gave him a slave as a present, then he came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم to ask him to bear witness (to that). He said: “Have you given a present to all of your children?” He said: “No.” He said: “Then take it back.” This wording is that of (one of the narrators) Muhammad. (Sahih)
