Question

I am looking for this full Hadith of Sayyiduna Nu’man ibn Bashir (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

It is narrated that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Be fair among your children”

 

Answer

This narration has been recorded in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim a few times with variations in the wording. One such version as appears in Sahih Bukhari is as follows:

Sayyiduna Nu’man ibn Bashir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was once on the pulpit when he said: “My father once gave me a gift. [My mother] ‘Amrah bintu Rawahah said, “I will not agree until you make Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) a witness.” So he went to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and said, “I gave my son from ‘Amrah bintu Rawahah a gift but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it O Messenger of Allah!” Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked, “Did you gift all of your children the like of it?” He replied, “No.” Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Fear Allah and be equal among your children.” He then said, “[My father] then returned and took back his gift.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2587, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1623)

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صحيح البخاري:
(٢٥٨٧) حدثنا حامد بن عمر، حدثنا أبو عوانة، عن حصين، عن عامر، قال: سمعت النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنهما، وهو على المنبر يقول: أعطاني أبي عطية، فقالت عمرة بنت رواحة: لا أرضى حتى تشهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: إني أعطيت ابني من عمرة بنت رواحة عطية، فأمرتني أن أشهدك يا رسول الله، قال: «أعطيت سائر ولدك مثل هذا؟»، قال: لا، قال: «فاتقوا الله واعدلوا بين أولادكم»، قال: فرجع فرد عطيته.

صحيح مسلم:
(١٦٢٣) حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة، حدثنا عباد بن العوام، عن حصين، عن الشعبي، قال: سمعت النعمان بن بشير، ح وحدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، واللفظ له أخبرنا أبو الأحوص، عن حصين، عن الشعبي، عن النعمان بن بشير، قال: تصدق علي أبي ببعض ماله، فقالت أمي عمرة بنت رواحة: لا أرضى حتى تشهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فانطلق أبي إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ليشهده على صدقتي، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أفعلت هذا بولدك كلهم؟» قال: لا، قال: «اتقوا الله، واعدلوا في أولادكم»، فرجع أبي، فرد تلك الصدقة.
