أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَی بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُشْهِدُ عَلَی نُحْلٍ نَحَلَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ أَکُلَّ وَلَدِکَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ مَا نَحَلْتَهُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَی شَيْئٍ أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّکَ أَنْ يَکُونُوا إِلَيْکَ فِي الْبِرِّ سَوَائً قَالَ بَلَی قَالَ فَلَا إِذًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3715
It was narrated from An Numan that his father brought him to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم to bear witness to a present that he gave to him. He said: “Have your given all you children a present like that which you have given to him?” He said: “No.” He said: “I will not bear witness to anything. Will it not please you if they were all to treat you with equal respect?” He said: “Of course.” He said: “Then no (I will not do it).” (Sahih)
